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

Myelolipomas are benign, nonfunctioning neoplasms that most commonly arise in the adrenal glands and constitute a recognisable subset of adrenal masses. They are primarily composed of haematopoietic cells and fatty tissues. Hepatic myelolipoma is extremely rare, with only 11 cases previously recorded in English medical literature. It is usually an incidental finding. Hepatic myelolipomas are most often identified by ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and diagnosis is confirmed with histopathology. In this case report, we describe an exceptionally uncommon case in which a patient presented with aberrant and nonspecific symptoms. He was discovered to have a massive hepatic myelolipoma, as well as elements of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). He underwent tumour resection after being carefully reviewed by the sarcoma multidisciplinary team (MDT).
