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

Congenital portosystemic shunts are rare and have high association with the development of focal liver lesions. Distinguishing between benign and malignant hepatic tumors in these patients can be difficult, both via imaging and histopathology. Here, we present a pictorial essay exhibiting three cases of focal liver lesions that were identified in patients with congenital portosystemic shunts. Each patient had multiple atypical hypervascular liver tumors, with tissue sampling ultimately establishing the final diagnosis. We report on the importance of considering underlying hepatic vascular anomalies in making accurate radiologic and histopathologic diagnoses.
