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

Hepatobronchial fistula is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication that can occurs following microwave ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma. The complication is associated with a significant mortality rate. We report the case of a patient with alcoholic cirrhosis and recurrent hepatic carcinoma who developed a delayed pyogenic liver abscess and hepatobronchial fistula and was treated using an uncommon treatment approach. The abscess in segment VIII, adjacent to the diaphragm, progressed to hepatobronchial fistula due to infection caused by
