Huge mesenchymal hamartoma in a young adult: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver (MHL) is rare. Less than 50 adult cases have been described. Due to their potential degeneration or recurrence, a complete surgical resection must be performed. We describe a case of a 26-year-old with a palpable solid lesion, which displaced abdominal organs. Percutaneous needle biopsies suggested the diagnosis of MHL. A right hemi-hepatectomy without segment 1 was performed; the post-operative course was uneventful. The mesenchymal component of the tumour was reactive to desmin and smooth muscle actin. Low proliferation index was confirmed (MIB1). Genetic counselling: the sequencing analysis of DICER1 and CDKN1C gene was negative, DNA methylation analysis on the chromosome 11p15 region was normal. After 42 months, there was no recurrence. In conclusion, clinicians should consider MHL in the differential diagnosis. The dimension and the need of radicality impose major liver resections or liver transplantations, which should be performed in referral centres.
