Elevated Serum Protein Induced by Vitamin K Absence or Antagonist II Levels in Patients with Hepatic Hemangiomas.

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
Little is known about the effect of hepatic hemangiomas on protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist II (PIVKA-II). The aim of this study was to clarify the correlation of PIVKA-II levels with hepatic hemangiomas. In 335 consecutive patients with hepatic hemangiomas, ultrasonography (US), laboratory tests for liver function, serum levels of PIVKA-II and α-fetoprotein (AFP), and coagulation factors (platelets, prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen, thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT), D-dimer, and fibrin and fibrinogen degradation products (FDPs)) as indicators of coagulation disorders were examined. PIVKA-II levels were significantly higher in the hemangioma group than in the control group (
