Right Anterior Sectionectomy for Hepatic Helminthic Infection Mimicking Cholangiocarcinoma: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 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 present the case of a patient with an unexpected pathological finding of degenerate roundworm infection on histology for a liver resection for presumed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Helminthic infection of the liver is uncommon in developed and metropolitan regions and this patient had no risk factors for such. The only potentially risk factor for complications of the infection was the presence of long-term immunosuppression in the setting of Crohn's disease. The imaging, including computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan, was suggestive of a malignant process and thus the patient was consented and brought forward for segments five and eight liver resection. Interestingly the frozen section analysis and formal pathology confirmed a helminthic infection. The patient made an unremarkable recovery and remains well to date. Liver helminth infection mimicking malignancy is rare, however should always be considered as a differential diagnosis for atypical liver imaging findings.
