Beyond the liver: a case of solitary skull lesion with hepatocellular features without a primary malignancy.
Article in Ecancermedicalscience, 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 primarily a malignant liver tumour. In rare cases, HCC may be asymptomatic and incidentally identified in radiological exams. Although extrahepatic metastasis to organs such as the lungs or bones is not very uncommon, isolated extrahepatic lesions with hepatoid characteristics, in the absence of a primary tumour in the liver or gastrointestinal tract, are incredibly uncommon. Herein, we present an intriguing case of an isolated skull lesion with hepatoid features with no identifiable primary hepatic or gastrointestinal lesion. This case highlights the need for further research into these rare presentations to deepen our understanding of HCC pathogenesis and ectopic tissue transformation.
