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

Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare benign pathological entity characterised by dilatation of the hepatic sinusoids. It has been reported to be associated with infection or malignancy, but the aetiology of PH remains unknown. Distinguishing PH from other malignancies can be difficult on imaging studies. This case report describes the incidental finding of PH in a patient undergoing a cardiac computed tomography (CT) scan at our institution. The CT scan incidentally revealed areas of altered density in the liver on the abdominal scans, requiring detailed liver diagnostic studies for better characterisation.
