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

We report a case of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) mimicking colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) on preoperative workup that was clinically indistinguishable. A 78-year-old woman was found to have locally-advanced sigmoid cancer (T4), and then treated with radical sigmoidectomy. One year after the surgery, plain computed tomography (CT) revealed a low-density area in the right hepatic lobe. Metastatic liver tumors could not be ruled out with CT/ magnetic resonant imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography-CT . Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with CRLM at S7 of the liver. The patient underwent right posterior sectionectomy. The tumor was adjacent to the right hepatic vein; however, no invasion was observed. The patient was pathologically diagnosed as having RLH. The patient showed no signs of recurrence 16 months after initial surgery. RLH is clinically indistinguishable from CRLM. Further evaluation is required to elucidate the effective strategies of detecting and treating hepatic RLH.
