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

Hepatic mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) are rare cystic tumors that are predominantly observed in females, with a low incidence rate in males. To date, few cases of aggressive MCN have been reported in male patients. The current study reports the case of a 74-year-old male patient who presented to Xixi Hospital with abdominal distension. Results of imaging investigations revealed a cystic lesion in the liver and histopathological examination demonstrated positive staining for caudal type homeobox 2, cytokeratin 20, postmeiotic segregation increased 2, progesterone receptor and α-inhibin, leading to a definitive diagnosis of hepatic mucinous cystadenoma. Collectively, the results of the present article demonstrated that hepatic MCN should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic liver lesions, including in male patients. A comprehensive evaluation that integrates clinical characteristics, and imaging and histopathological findings is essential for the optimal management of this condition.
