A Rare Case of Solitary Primary and Recurrent Hepatic Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma Undergoing Repeat Liver Resections.

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
introductionHepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a rare vascular tumor. Treatment strategy remains controversial because of its rarity. Liver resection is considered as the optimal treatment for solitary HEHE, while a small subset of patients have a solitary tumor. We present the rare case of a patient with solitary primary HEHE who experienced solitary recurrence following liver resection and underwent subsequent liver resection. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old man was referred to our department with a suspected intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, based on imaging findings. Anatomic liver resection of segment 8 was performed, and the tumor was confirmed to be HEHE from the pathological findings. Fifteen months later, a solitary recurrence developed in segment 7. After a 5-month observation period, partial liver resection was performed, and the tumor was consistent with recurrent HEHE. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient remained recurrence-free for 9 months following the procedure.
conclusionsRepeat liver resection may be a feasible treatment option for patients with solitary recurrent HEHE.
