Surgical Management of a Spontaneous Hepatocellular Carcinoma Rupture in a Non-cirrhotic Liver: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an uncommon and life-threatening condition that poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This report describes the case of a 78-year-old man with no prior history of liver disease who presented with acute abdominal pain and hemoperitoneum. Imaging revealed a ruptured exophytic HCC lesion in hepatic segment II, which was confirmed during laparotomy. The patient underwent successful segment II resection following stabilization, and histopathological analysis confirmed a moderately differentiated HCC in a non-cirrhotic liver. The postoperative course was uneventful. This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis, tailored management strategies, and multidisciplinary care in addressing the complexities of spontaneous HCC rupture, particularly in patients without underlying liver disease.
