Diagnostic Challenge of a Vascular Liver Tumor With Pulmonary Hemorrhagic Metastases: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report the case of a 64-year-old man with chronic liver disease who presented with abdominal discomfort, anorexia, and progressive weight loss, initially suspected to have hepatocellular carcinoma based on a large hepatic mass lacking definitive radiologic hallmarks. Multiphase CT demonstrated heterogeneous peripheral enhancement without classical washout, while thoracic imaging revealed numerous bilateral pulmonary nodules surrounded by ground-glass halos, indicating hemorrhagic metastases. These thoracic findings proved pivotal in directing diagnostic suspicion toward a vascular neoplasm. Ultrasound-guided liver biopsy confirmed high-grade hepatic angiosarcoma, with tumor cells showing ERG positivity and weak CD31 expression, and lacking hepatocellular or epithelial markers. The patient experienced rapid clinical deterioration with intrapulmonary hemorrhage, multiorgan dysfunction, and refractory shock, culminating in death shortly after diagnosis. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of hepatic angiosarcoma and underscores the importance of integrating thoracic imaging with hepatic evaluation, particularly when liver findings are atypical.
