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

Background: Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma (HEAML) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that can occasionally exhibit malignant behavior, such as postoperative recurrence or distant metastasis. Most HEAML patients are female, and it is difficult to distinguish them from other liver tumors. The diagnostic accuracy rate is less than 32%. We present a case of HEAML in an elderly woman with mild fatty liver, without a history of hepatitis, tuberculosis. The patient underwent early laparoscopic liver tumor resection. Case Description: A 69-year-old woman presented with intermittent right upper abdominal discomfort. Imaging revealed an ovoid liver mass. She was in good overall health, with no history of chronic diseases, hepatitis, tuberculosis, allergies, surgeries, trauma, or blood transfusions. Laboratory tests were normal, with negative results for carcinoembryonic antigen and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). After computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, the patient underwent laparoscopic liver tumor resection. Conclusions: HEAML, the rare tumor, with a degree of malignant potential, predominantly affects elderly women. Certain characteristics on CT and MRI facilitate its differentiation from other intrahepatic lesions. In our case, a multimodal approach was utilized, and detailed imaging analysis of the tumor may serve as a reference for its accurate diagnosis.
