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

Calcifying nested stromal-epithelial tumor is a rare hepatic malignancy with approximately 50 cases reported in the literature. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific, and the diagnosis is mainly based on histology which shows nests of spindle and epithelioid cells along with a desmoplastic myofibroblastic stroma containing variable calcification and ossification. In this report, we present a case of a 24-year-old woman with a history of abdominal pain, distension, and dyspepsia. She had a palpable liver with normal liver function test results. Serum alpha-fetoprotein levels were within normal range, and serologies for hepatitis B and C virus remained negative. Radiological investigations (magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography) showed a large, right hepatic lobe mass with tumor invasion into the right posterior portal vein, but the 2 modalities could not characterize the lesion. Finally, an ultrasound-guided biopsy of the liver lesion provided the diagnosis of calcifying nested stromal-epithelial tumor. The tumor was resected successfully.
