Case report: Radiological features of a case of desmoplastic malignant mesothelioma of peritoneum.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Desmoplastic malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) is an extremely rare and aggressive subtype of sarcomatoid malignant mesothelioma, originating from the mesothelial lining of body cavities. It is characterized by significant local invasiveness and poor prognosis. The nonspecific symptoms of DMPM often result in delayed diagnosis. This case report presents the multimodality imaging findings of DMPM in a 58-year-old male, including ultrasound, CT, contrast-enhanced CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and 18-fluorodeoxy-glucose positron emission tomography combined with CT (18F-FDG PET/CT). These findings aim to enhance radiologists' understanding of the imaging features and differential diagnosis of DMPM. In this case, the tumor was located in the right subdiaphragm and the right anterior and left medial lobes of the liver. Due to the patient's history of alcoholic cirrhosis-a known risk factor for primary liver tumors-the initial diagnostic focus was on identifying a primary liver tumor with potential peritoneal invasion, overlooking other possible etiologies. However, histological results revealed that the liver lesion was secondary to invasion by DMPM. To the best of our knowledge, cases of DMPM invading the liver are exceedingly rare. This report underscores the importance of considering peritoneal tumors in the differential diagnosis when lesions involve both the peritoneum and adjacent organs, despite their rarity.
