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) frequently presents with vascular invasion; however, extension of tumor thrombus into the right atrium via the inferior vena cava (IVC) is rare and associated with a poor prognosis. A 48-year-old man presented with progressive dyspnea on minimal exertion. Imaging studies, including transthoracic echocardiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, revealed a large hepatic mass with tumor thrombus extending through the hepatic veins and inferior vena cava (IVC) into the right atrium. Due to advanced liver disease and poor performance status, surgical and interventional therapies were not feasible. The patient received supportive treatment including anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin. Despite treatment, his clinical condition rapidly deteriorated, leading to death shortly after diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of multimodal imaging in identifying intracardiac extension of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and underscores its grave prognosis.
