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

introduction and importancePrimary Clear Cell subtype of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (PCHCC) is a rare kind of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). The coexistence of PCHCC, Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and ordinary-type HCC(OHCC) in different parts of the liver is seldom reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66 years old man with three masses in his liver was admitted. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography suggested that 2 of the lesions were low-density and likely malignant, while the 3rd lesion was considered benign. Magnetic Resonance Imaging indicated all were malignant tumors. Minor hepatectomies were underwent respectively, and the pathology indicated the 3 tumors were PCHCC, ICC, and OHCC. Twelve months post operation, the patient was readmitted because of the recurrence of a 10.2 × 9.2 × 8.9 cm hepatic tumor. Transarterial chemoembolization and three courses of systemic chemotherapy were carried out, but the effectiveness was limited. The patient passed away 20 months after surgery. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Surgical resection is the primary treatment of CHCC and minor hepatectomy should be considered especially when complicated with cirrhosis. Considering the poor prognosis and the high recurrence rate, sequential treatments like hepatectomy, targeted therapy, and TACE are recommended.

conclusionPCHCC, ICC, and OHCC coexisted in a different part of one liver is particularly rare, comprehensive treatment with minor hepatectomy should be recommended, but the prognosis is poor.
