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

Epithelioid hemangioma (EH) arising from the liver is extremely rare, and its cellular variant can easily lead to diagnostic difficulties. Here, we report a cellular EH of the liver in a 63-year-old man. Microscopically, the lesion was multinodular. Approximately 95% of areas displayed solid and sheet-like growth. It mainly consisted of proliferative epithelioid cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm containing intracytoplasmic vacuoles, admixed with a few eosinophils. Tumor cells were immunoreactive for FOS, CD31, ERG, and CD34, but negative for FOSB, CAMTA1, and TFE-3. Fluorescence in situ hybridization identified FOS gene rearrangement, while FOSB rearrangement, CAMTA1 rearrangement, and WWTR1::CAMTA1 gene fusion were not detected. Furthermore, next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing demonstrated a FOS::BCAR3 fusion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of cellular EH involving the liver and featuring a novel FOS::BCAR3 fusion, thereby broadening the spectrum of clinicopathological and genetic characteristics in this entity.
