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

Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma (HEAML) is a rare benign tumor in the liver. It is crucial to differentiate HEAML from hepatocellular carcinoma. We herein report the case of a 42-year-old female who was diagnosed with HEAML by multiple imaging studies. The histopathological examination also confirmed the diagnosis. Imaging studies include magnetic resonance imaging, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (US). Typical image findings of HEAML by US include early drainage of hepatic veins, higher peak intensity, shorter time to peak on time-intensity curve, and a larger wash-in area under the curve after ultrasonic contrast injection. Early hepatic drainage vein(s) detected at CEUS are a crucial diagnosis of HEAML. DSA can also provide valuable vascular details. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the imaging features of HEAML to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgical interventions. We present various imaging techniques and their findings and emphasize the application of CEUS in the diagnosis of HEAML.
