Imaging Features of Biliary Adenofibroma With Malignant Transformation: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Biliary adenofibroma (BAF) is a rare benign tumor, but it has the potential for malignant transformation. The differentiation between benign and malignant forms of BAF before surgery is of great importance for clinical decision-making. We report a case of BAF with invasive carcinoma. The patient did not present any clinical symptoms but had a history of hepatitis B virus infection for more than twenty years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a solid and cystic 4 cm mass in segment II of the liver exhibiting hypointense signals on T1-weighted images and intermediate-to-high intensity signals on T2-weighted images. Enhancement scanning revealed markedly rim-like enhancement on the arterial phase, with the left inter-hepatic artery as the tumor-feeding artery, and wash-out on the venous and delayed phases. To the best of our knowledge, BAF with invasive carcinoma is uncommon. Preoperative qualitative diagnosis based on imaging features can achieve the maximum benefit for patients.
