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

Hepatic hemangiomas, the most common benign liver masses, are often asymptomatic and do not require treatment; however, some subtypes develop complications, including diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis, a rare disease in which hemangiomas replace the liver parenchyma. We describe a case in which the patient presented with esophageal varices. Upon admission, computed tomography showed a normal liver volume of 829 mL, 69% lower than the standard liver volume. Our findings suggest that in cases of large hepatic hemangiomas, regular imaging is necessary, especially if the liver volume falls below 70% of the standard volume; moreover, the possibility of complications should be considered.
