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

The liver is a common location for both primary and secondary cancers of the abdomen. Radiologists become familiar with the typical imaging features of common benign and malignant liver tumors; however, many types of liver tumors are encountered infrequently. Due to the rarity of these lesions, their typical imaging patterns may not be easily recognized, meaning their underlying pathologic features may not be discovered or suggested until an invasive biopsy is performed. In this review article, we discuss multiple hepatic neoplasms that are both unusual and rare. Some have typical imaging patterns, whereas others are non-specific and can only be included in the differential diagnosis. The clinical history and serologic findings are often critical in suggesting these entities; therefore, these are also discussed to familiarize the radiologist with the appropriate clinical setting of each. The article includes an image-rich description of each entity with accompanying figures describing the ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging features of each disease process. Novel therapies and prognosis of several of the diseases are also included in the discussion.
