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

A 32-year-old lady presented with abdominal pain and computed tomography scan detected multifocal bilobar hepatic tumours. The tumours had heterogeneous radiological appearance. The largest tumour situated in left lateral section and was hypodense on arterial and portal venous phases. There were two small arterial enhancing tumours at segment 4a and 8, respectively. On dual-tracer positron emission tomography scan, these tumours were mostly 11C-acetate and 18FDG-avid, radiologically mimicking multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma. Immuno-histochemical staining after resection confirmed the diagnosis of inflammatory hepatic adenoma. The tumour cells expressed serum amyloid A and C-reactive protein.
