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 38-year-old woman was admitted to our university hospital with loss of muscle strength. She was diagnosed with dermatomyositis and underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the entire body to check for malignant tumors. Computed tomography revealed multiple enhanced hepatic nodules and an extrahepatic portosystemic shunt. Although a needle biopsy of the nodule could not diagnose definitive hepatocellular carcinoma, some nodules increased in size after three months. Because of the inconclusive results of the second biopsy, we performed shunt embolization using a vascular plug. After another three months, the hepatic nodules shrank markedly, as expected.
