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

This case report explores a rare foreign body-induced inflammatory pseudotumor in the caudate lobe of a 47-year-old male. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to epigastric pain and fever. Radiological examinations led to the diagnosis of a malignant tumor, and a resection of the caudate lobe lesion was performed. The excised tumor specimen revealed a fishbone-like foreign body. Immunohistochemistry suggested that this was an inflammatory pseudotumor rather than a malignant tumor. This prompted us to contemplate the origin of the foreign body and the mechanisms by which it led to the formation of the inflammatory pseudotumor.
