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

A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of slight elevation of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) and accumulation of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in S8 of the liver on positron emission tomography. The mass was strongly suspected to be malignant because of contrast enhancement and enlargement in size of the mass, and suspicion of portal vein invasion. Hepatic S8 subsegmentectomy was performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of the resected specimen showed small lymphocytes with no atypia and no formation of lymphoid follicles. Immunostaining showed CD3-positive cells in the interfollicular region and CD20-positive cells in the lymphoid follicles. Both CD10 and BCL-2 were negative in the follicular germinal center. CD138-positive plasma cells were observed and there was no light chain restriction. Based on polyclonal growth pattern of lymphocytes in the lymphoid follicles and interfollicular region, she was diagnosed with hepatic reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH).Review of the English literature of hepatic RLH which referred to imaging findings yielded 23 cases, including this case. As a result, we suggest that liver biopsy should be performed for definitive diagnosis, when hepatic RLH is suspected by imaging findings and backgrounds.
