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

Background: Hepatic hemangioma is the most common type of benign mesenchymal liver tumor and often has a good prognosis. However, giant hepatic hemangioma larger than 10 cm is an unusual event, and accompanying symptoms of internal hemorrhagic necrosis are extremely rare. There are only a few cases reported. Case summary: Herein, we report the case of a 52-year-old man with hemorrhagic necrosis of a giant hepatic hemangioma. The patient presented to the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery with a complaint of distending pain on the right abdomen. The patient underwent hepatic artery embolization for giant hepatic hemangioma 2 weeks before presentation. During hospitalization, abdominal computed tomography revealed a mass (15.8 × 14.2 × 14.7 cm) with high density below the right lobe of the liver. The patient subsequently underwent irregular right hepatectomy with the guidance of three-dimensional visualization technology. The surgical anatomy confirmed the diagnosis of internal hemorrhagic necrosis. There was no recurrence or complications in a 4-month follow-up. Previous cases were reviewed to characterize the clinical features of giant hepatic hemangioma with internal hemorrhage necrosis. Conclusion: Cases of giant hepatic hemangioma with internal hemorrhagic necrosis are rare and usually only exhibit fever or epigastric pain. All patients in reviewed cases finally underwent surgical resection. Under these circumstances, the healing effect of transhepatic arterial treatment is not very satisfactory. Patients are deemed poor laparoscopic surgical candidates due to limited abdominal cavity. In order to standardize the diagnosis of these rare cares, the aggregation of existing and future case data is certainly warranted. If diagnosed, consideration should be given to implementing surgical resection according to patients' condition by three-dimensional visualized technology.
