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

backgroundAs hepatic myelolipoma is rarely encountered, its radiological diagnosis using ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is challenging. Hepatic myelolipoma is similar to fat-contained hepatic lesions seen in hepatocellular carcinoma and angiomyolipoma. Therefore, further development of techniques to diagnose hepatic myelolipoma is warranted. CASE SUMMARY: A 44-year-old obese man was found to have a hepatic lesion during his medical checkup. The lesion was 50 mm × 57 mm in size and was detected in segment 8 (S8) of the liver by US. The patient was diagnosed with hepatic lesion 20 years ago, but it was left unresolved. The patient had no symptoms, liver dysfunction, hepatitis virus antibody, or tumor marker elevation. Plain CT showed a well-defined lesion in S8 of the liver. The central and peripheral areas of the lesion primarily exhibited fat density and hypodensity, respectively. MRI revealed a capsule-like structure. Biopsy was performed to address the probability of hepatocellular carcinoma. The lesion was pathologically confirmed as a myelolipoma. Bone marrow scintigraphy performed using
