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

Primary hepatic angiosarcoma (PHA) is a rare hepatic mesenchymal tumor that accounts for 2% of all primary malignant liver tumors. It typically presents with nonspecific symptoms, is highly aggressive, and there are limited treatment options. Imaging characteristics of PHA overlap with that of hepatic hemangioma, a common benign hepatic lesion, creating a potential diagnostic pitfall. We present a case of PHA that mimicked hepatic hemangioma on imaging. We review the differentiating characteristics between these two hepatic tumors. PHAs demonstrate irregular/infiltrating margins, higher lesion multiplicity, higher risk of tumor rupture, and rapid growth, which are not typically seen with hepatic hemangiomas.
