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

A 67-year-old man with a history of alcohol and hepatitis C-associated cirrhosis is diagnosed with incidental metastatic liver cancer during hospitalization for hepatic encephalopathy. He had 2 LI-RADS-3 (indeterminant) lesions on liver magnetic resonance imaging 3 months prior but had no history of hepatocellular carcinoma and was listed for liver transplant. During inpatient paracentesis, the ascites fluid was bloody, so the abdominal and pelvic computed tomography was performed showing a lytic lesion in the left posterior inferior pubic rami. Alpha fetoprotein was within normal limits. His liver was imaged on several occasions without definite evidence of malignancy. Bone biopsy revealed metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. On return to baseline mental status, patient endorsed no bony pain.
