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

Hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) is a rare, benign tumor characterized by a mixture of fat, smooth muscle, and blood vessels. We present the case of a 37-year-old male with a history of tuberous sclerosis complex who underwent a CT scan to evaluate abdominal manifestations of the disease. The imaging was performed with and without contrast enhancement and analyzed across arterial, venous, and delayed phases. CT imaging revealed hepatomegaly with a large, ill-defined, nonencapsulated heterogeneous mass composed of both fatty and soft tissue components. Postcontrast enhancement demonstrated a heterogeneous pattern with arterial-phase vascular structures (branches of the hepatic artery) and venous-phase elements (branches of the portal vein network). The lesion extended to the superior, inferior, anterior, and posterior liver borders while preserving the biliary hilum. These imaging findings were consistent with hepatic angiomyolipoma; however, no biopsy was performed for histopathological confirmation. This study aims to highlight the CT characteristics of hepatic angiomyolipoma.
