A red flag and a red herring-dual pathology of isolated polycystic liver disease with underlying epithelioid angiosarcoma resulting in recurrent hepatic cyst haemorrhage.

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
Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is an uncommon inherited condition that leads to progressive development of hepatic cysts that can become complicated by rupture, infection, and bleeding. We detail the case of a 53-year-old female presenting with haemoperitoneum secondary to hepatic cyst bleeding on a background of isolated polycystic liver disease. Despite extensive investigations to localize a bleeding source, repeated angioembolisation, and partial hepatic resection, the patient had recurrent hepatic haemorrhage. Posthumous histology of the resected liver revealed malignant epithelioid angiosarcoma, a rare vascular tumour underlying the PLD. This is the first reported case with a dual pathology of polycystic liver disease and primary liver epithelioid angiosarcoma. Infiltrative malignancies should be considered in atypical cases of recurrent hepatic haemorrhage.
