Primary Liver Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Tumor (PEComa): Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
A primary liver perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is an extremely rare entity. In this article, we present a case report with a review of the literature on the patients diagnosed with primary liver PEComa and an elaboration of diagnostic and treatment modalities. A systematic literature search was conducted using the terms "perivascular epithelioid cell tumor", "PEComa", "liver", and "hepatic". All articles describing patients diagnosed with primary liver PEComa were included. We identified a total of 224 patients of primary liver PEComa from 75 articles and a case from the present study with a significant preponderance of females (ratio 4:1) and with a mean age of 45.3 ± 12.1 years. Most of the patients (114 out of 224, 50.9%) were asymptomatic. A total of 183 (81.3%) patients underwent surgical hepatic resection at the time of diagnosis, while 19 (8.4%) underwent surveillance. Recurrence and metastases were detected in seven (3.1%) and six (2.7%) patients, respectively. In conclusion, surgical resection remains the cornerstone of therapy; however, the presence of nonspecific imaging features makes it difficult to reach a definite diagnosis preoperatively. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach should be the gold standard in selecting the treatment modality.
