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 and aggressive malignancy, accounting for roughly 2% of primary hepatic cancers. It is characterized by rapid progression and nonspecific clinical symptoms, making early diagnosis challenging. This case report describes a 59-year-old male who initially presented with right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain, dizziness, and presyncope, with initial imaging findings suggesting hemoperitoneum secondary to hepatic arteriovenous malformations (AVM). A comprehensive diagnostic approach, including computed tomography (CT) angiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and surgical biopsy, ultimately confirmed PHA. This case underscores the difficulty in diagnosing PHA due to its varied imaging presentations and highlights the need for improved diagnostic strategies and early detection.
