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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a debilitating complication of primary hepatic disease with a significant annual incidence worldwide. Untreated HCC may result in a severe reduction to life expectancy, dependent on staging at diagnosis. Typically, HCC has a propensity to metastasize to the lung, peritoneum, and bone. Cutaneous HCC metastases are rarely encountered, with few described in the literature. The authors present a case of a 66-year-old man with biopsy-proven cutaneous HCC metastasis to the chin. The patient was managed with excision, followed by staged reconstruction. Surgical management and a review of the literature are discussed.
