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

introductionMyopericytoma is an uncommon benign neoplasm composed of myoid-appearing perivascular cells. It had been reported in various soft tissues, but only few case reports were found reported in liver. CASE PRESENTATION: We reported a case of myopericytoma in a 43-year-old female with a history of a left adnexal cyst and foul-smelling per vaginal discharge with no significant findings in per abdominal examination. Imaging studies initially suggested the possibility of hemangioma in ultrasonography and further CT scan was advised which gave the possibility of focal nodular hyperplasia. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Right hemihepatectomy was performed and histopathological examination revealed a well-circumscribed mass consistent with myopericytoma, supported by positive immunohistochemical staining for SMA and H caldesmon, and negativity for Desmin, DOG-1, and ALK.

conclusionThis case contributes to the limited literature on hepatic myopericytoma and emphasizes the importance of considering this entity in the differential diagnosis of liver lesion.
