A Case of Inflammatory Pseudotumour Masquerading as Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Inflammatory pseudotumors (IPTs) of the liver can mimic malignant lesions. As the name implies, they are usually associated with an inflammatory process and usually regress with the treatment of the underlying pathology. We report a case of a 67-year-old female who presented with right upper quadrant pain, deranged liver enzymes, elevated tumor markers [alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and CA 19-9], and a large liver mass on imaging, suspected to be hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). She was eventually diagnosed with IPT complicating the liver inflammation due to autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). She responded well to treatment with steroids and immunosuppressive therapy.
