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

A 62-year-old male undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) for over two years presented with sudden bloody peritoneal dialysate, but no other symptoms. Laboratory tests indicated anemia, and a computed tomographic scan revealed a 4.4 cm tumor in the liver with hemoperitoneum, leading to a diagnosis of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), stage IIIB T4N0M0. The patient underwent a successful laparoscopic segmentectomy, and PD was resumed after a month of hemodialysis without complications. This case underscores the importance of considering malignancy in PD patients presenting with hemoperitoneum, as timely detection of HCC can significantly improve prognosis.
