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

De novo primary hepatic angiosarcoma is an exceedingly rare malignancy in transplanted livers. Only 1 previous case has been reported in the literature. The diagnosis is usually challenging due to non-specific clinical presentation and overlapping imaging findings with other conditions. These rapidly progressing, multifocal lesions have previously been described to have varied growth patterns but are typically hypo-enhancing on gadoxetate disodium (Primovist) enhanced MRI. Surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy are potential options of treatment for hepatic angiosarcomas. Despite this, prognosis of patients at diagnosis is extremely poor. In this report we present imaging findings of a liver transplant recipient despite biopsy-confirmed hepatic angiosarcoma, and discuss the diagnostic complexities involved.
