Hepatic abscess induced by gastric cancer mimicking differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma.

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
A 58-year-old man was referred to our hospital with right abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) showed a rim-enhanced lesion with a fluid collection in the right hepatic lobe. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a Borrmann type 1 tumor on the middle gastric body, identified as an adenocarcinoma on pathology. The patient underwent percutaneous transhepatic abscess drainage and was treated with antibiotics. Two weeks after drainage, CECT revealed shrinkage of the abscess; however, the wall showed contrast enhancement. Needle biopsy was performed for the liver tumor, and it suggested the possibility of highly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient first underwent gastrectomy, and the liver tumor was followed with CECT. Two months after surgery, CECT revealed that the liver tumor had vanished. Liver abscesses and infectious tumors can be difficult to differentiate between; therefore, careful scrutiny is essential before treatment.
