Hepatic pseudotumor: A diagnostic challenge.
Article in World journal of hepatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Hepatic pseudotumors are rare lesions of unknown origin, characterized by the proliferation of fibrous connective tissue and inflammatory cell infiltrates. They mimic malignant lesions clinically, and radiologically, given their non-specific clinical and imaging features. The pathophysiology of hepatic pseudotumor is incompletely understood and there are no standardized criteria for diagnosis. Pseudotumors have been reported to develop in various organs in the body with the lung and liver being the most common site. Hepatic pseudotumors develop in patients with underlying triggers of liver inflammation and injury, including infections, autoimmune liver diseases, bile duct injury, or surgery. Hepatic pseudotumors respond well to conservative treatment with antibiotics, and steroids and some may regress spontaneously, thus avoiding unnecessary resection. This condition is rewarding to treat. It is important to recognize pseudotumor as a distinct clinical entity and include it in the differential of liver masses with atypical imaging features.
