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

Even asymptomatic giant hepatic cysts may harbor malignancy. Intraductal papillary carcinoma (IPC) of the liver, a histologic subtype of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), is relatively uncommon among primary hepatic malignancies. The coexistence of ICC with hepatic cysts is exceedingly rare and often leads to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. This case report describes a patient in whom both ICC and a giant hepatic cyst were identified during a routine physical examination. Initial imaging favored a diagnosis of a giant hepatic cyst. Laparoscopic hepatic cystectomy with partial hepatectomy was performed, and histopathologic examination confirmed intraductal papillary carcinoma.
