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

Prevention, recognition, and staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rely primarily on abdominal imaging. Treatment of HCC varies widely based on tumor stage, lymph node involvement, and metastatic disease along with the patient's functional status. We present an unusual case of isolated extrahepatic HCC metastasis involving a solitary lesion in the pelvis, with no other evidence of viable intrahepatic or extrahepatic disease. The detection of this metastasis was aided by regular surveillance magnetic resonance imaging, alpha-fetoprotein monitoring, and pathological diagnosis. Our case highlights the importance of thoroughly evaluating interval changes on surveillance imaging in HCC.
