1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundHepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (HIMT) is a rare type of hepatic tumor. It is always misdiagnosed and mistreated because it is primarily found with no obvious specific manifestation, and its imaging findings are diverse. CASE SUMMARY: Here, we report a case of HIMT that was initially diagnosed as liver malignancy but was confirmed as HIMT by histopathology after hepatectomy. Mostly, HIMTs are infiltrated with plasma cells and stain positively for anaplastic lymphoma kinase on immunohistochemistry as well as for some other kinases.

conclusionHIMT can be treated with single nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and without surgery when it is diagnosed accurately. Because the etiology of HIMT is unknown and the diagnosis is difficult, the pathogenesis and clinical process need to be further studied.
