A rare case of giant hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma in a pediatric patient: diagnostic and surgical challenges.

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.
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 mesenchymal hamartoma is a rare benign liver tumor in pediatric patients, typically presenting within the first two years of life. This case involves a 10-month-old female who initially presented with repeated vomiting and was misdiagnosed with a hepatic hemangioma. Subsequent imaging revealed a large, multicystic hepatic mass, and a biopsy indicated spindle cell proliferation, initially suggesting embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Due to uncertainty in the initial histopathological diagnosis, the case was discussed in a multidisciplinary team meeting, and the decision was made to proceed with surgical resection. The final diagnosis of hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma was confirmed postoperatively. The patient underwent successful tumor resection, sparing the liver, with no postoperative complications. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with large pediatric hepatic masses and underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for successful outcomes in similar cases.
