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

The diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is usually centered around cross-sectional imaging (CSI) modalities. However, in some instances focal hepatic lesions may be missed on CSI. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has an evolving role in hepatology and have been shown to be useful in diagnosing focal lesions with advantages of tissue acquisition. We report a case hepatitis B-related cirrhosis presenting with acute decompensation, wherein EUS was used to identify HCC and perform tissue acquisition as CSI was non-diagnostic.
