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

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a widely recognized tumor marker, commonly used for the diagnosis and postoperative surveillance of liver tumors and germ cell tumors. Elevated serum AFP levels can also be found in biliary tract, gastrointestinal, and pancreatic diseases as well as physiological changes in newborns and pregnant women. When evaluating diseases associated with elevated AFP levels, the patient's age should be taken into consideration. The degree of AFP elevation is related to the tissue of origin with varying pathological mechanisms. Familiarity with the sources and mechanisms of AFP elevation, as well as understanding the clinical and imaging features of AFP-related lesions, helps to improve diagnostic accuracy and facilitate appropriate clinical management. This article reviews the abdominopelvic diseases associated with elevated AFP levels, organized by anatomical location.
