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

Introduction: Adult diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis (DHH) is an extremely rare disease. Consequently, its characteristics are poorly understood. Herein, we report a case of adult DHH involving both liver lobes but without extrahepatic involvement. To the best of our knowledge, this the largest reported adult DHH to date. Case presentation: A 51-year-old man was admitted due to abdominal distension and dyspnea. Physical examination revealed marked liver enlargement. Color Doppler, plain and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hepatic lesion sized 35.1 × 32.1 × 14.1 cm occupying nearly the entire abdominal and pelvic cavities. Diagnosis was established by liver puncture biopsy. The patient exhibited clinical signs of portal hypertension and hypersplenism, but remains free of serious DHH-related complications. He is followed up regularly, with proactive evaluation for future liver transplantation. Conclusion: This case will contribute to the current knowledge on the clinical and imaging features of this rare entity.
