Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Misdiagnosed as Liver Cirrhosis: 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. 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
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare intra-abdominal malignancy characterized by diffuse dissemination of mucinous tumor cells, leading to mucinous ascites. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management. This report presents a case of a 55-year-old Lebanese male farmer initially misdiagnosed with liver cirrhosis who presented with progressive abdominal distension refractory to diuretics and dietary modifications. Paracentesis revealed a mucinous exudate, with subsequent clinical and histopathological examination confirming PMP. The patient was referred for further evaluation at a specialized center equipped for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of PMP due to its non-specific presentation, emphasizing the importance of prompt and accurate diagnosis to facilitate optimal therapeutic intervention.
