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

Hepatocellular adenomas are relatively rare benign tumors of the liver that primarily develop in young women, particularly those who use oral contraceptive pills. There are 4 distinct subtypes of these tumors. Among them, β-catenin-mutated adenomas constitute approximately 10% to 15% and are notable for their potential to undergo malignant transformation. In this report, we present the case of a young patient who had a 4 cm hepatic lesion. The initial imaging studies, particularly an MRI, suggested that the lesion might be an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. However, upon further histological examination, the lesion was identified as a benign hepatic adenoma, with activation of the β-catenin mutation pathway. Due to the associated risk of malignant transformation, the treatment plan included surgical resection of the adenoma. This approach is critical in managing such lesions to prevent any potential progression to hepatocellular carcinoma.
