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

Perihepatic teratomas are exceedingly rare extragonadal germ cell tumors that may mimic more common hepatic cystic lesions on imaging. We report a 38-year-old woman with several months of abdominal bloating and early satiety. Laboratory studies and tumor markers (α-fetoprotein and carcinoembryonic antigen) were unremarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 17.7 cm complex cystic lesion adjacent to the left hepatic lobe with fatty components and a mural nodule. Elective laparotomy revealed a well-encapsulated mass arising from the lesser omentum, excised intact. Histopathology confirmed a mature cystic teratoma with elements from all 3 germ layers. The postoperative course was uneventful.
