Giant Masses in a Non-Cirrhotic Liver: All That Look Epithelial Are Not Carcinoma.
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
Angiomyolipoma (AML) is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm with myomelanocytic differentiation. Hepatic AML (HAML) is an uncommon tumor that often mimics a primary hepatic epithelial malignancy and is a challenging diagnosis for clinicians and pathologists. This article discusses the clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical details of two cases of HAML and their differential diagnoses. A 46-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man presented with pain, weakness, and weight loss. Radiology revealed large, well-defined, heterogeneous, enhancing masses in the non-cirrhotic liver. Histopathology showed a variable combination of epithelioid cells, spindle cells, adipocytes, and thick-walled blood vessels with smooth muscle actin (SMA) and HMB45 immunopositivity. The diagnosis of HAML depends on classical histopathology. However, a wide array of differential diagnoses should be considered depending on the proportionate representation of each component. A detailed histological evaluation, judicious use of immunohistochemistry to document myo-melanocytic differentiation, and awareness of the entity are useful for the correct diagnosis.
