Hepatocellular carcinoma with pharyngeal metastasis: A case report and literature review.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common and aggressive malignancy. While common metastatic sites of hepatocellular carcinoma include the lung, bone, and lymph nodes, pharyngeal metastasis is extremely rare. This case report presents a unique case of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma who developed pharyngeal metastasis. We describe the patient's clinical course, diagnostic work-up, and treatment strategies and details. We paid special attention to diagnostic difficulties and to ways of its resolving. Additionally, a comprehensive literature review was performed to summarize the characteristics, possible mechanisms, and management of hepatocellular carcinoma pharyngeal metastasis. By presenting this case and reviewing the literature, we aim to raise awareness among clinicians about this rare metastatic manifestation of hepatocellular carcinoma and provide insights into its diagnosis and treatment.
