Hepatic Angiomyolipoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) is an uncommon primary liver tumor with limited reported cases in the literature. It is composed of varying amounts of fat, smooth muscle, and blood vessels, typically non-malignant proliferation. It usually presents diagnostic challenges due to diverse imaging characteristics. We present a case of a 50-year-old female with a small HAML causing mild abdominal pain. It displayed radiographic characteristics mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and subsequent diagnosis was established upon histopathological findings of liver biopsy. The patient was radiologically monitored, and then she underwent surgical resection later on because of the size increase. Follow-up showed no signs of recurrence at 3 months. This case highlights the importance of histologic diagnosis of HAML if there are suggestive imaging features, given the variety of differential diagnoses. Symptoms or tumor growth is to be considered as warning signs that should lead to surgical resection, which remains the primary treatment modality.
