[Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Epidemiological Reality in Tucumán, Argentine Northwest].
Article in Acta gastroenterologica Latinoamericana. 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
Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary liver tumor (80 to 90%). It is the sixth most frequent tumor and the third that causes the most cancer-related deaths. 85% occurs in Asia and Africa. In Latin America and Argentina, it is not fully represented in the literature due to the socio-economic reality. Most hepatocellular carcinomas present on the basis of cirrhosis. Objective: To characterize the pidemiology of hepatocellular carcinoma in Tucumán, Argentina. Material and Method: A descriptive, multicentric, study of both public and private activity in the province was carried out. Based on international guidelines, diagnosis and treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were carried out. Results: There were 328 patients, with 109 (33.23%) women and 219 (66.76%) men. Of these patients, 294 (89.6%) had cirrhotic liver. The 5-year survival was 6.09% (n:20/328) in stage A and 0.914% (n:3/328) in stage B. Conclusion: The epidemiology of hepatocellular carcinoma in Tucumán, Argentina was updated; coinciding with the literature. From the epidemiological point of view it showed; a higher prevalence of the disease in males than in females; that stage D at the time of diagnosis was the most prevalent; and that the majority of patients suffered from previous liver diseases.
