Case report of misdiagnosis: a rare case of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma characterized primarily by fever.

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
This study reports a case of a 47-year-old female who was initially misdiagnosed as having liver abscess due to repeated fever, and was later misdiagnosed again as liver inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor(IMT) after liver biopsy. After surgical removal, molecular pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma(HEHE). HEHE with fever as the main symptom is extremely rare and there are no similar reports available at present. This study summarizes the key points of HEHE diagnosis and treatment, analyzes the reasons for the misdiagnosis in this case and the possible factors causing the fever symptoms, highlights the difficulties in HEHE diagnosis and the significant value of molecular pathology in its diagnosis.
