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

introductionHepatocellular adenoma (HCA) is a rare benign liver tumor that can be complicated by hemorrhage, whereas concomitant major venous thrombosis is uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION: A 25-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain and nausea. Contrast-enhanced CT showed a 17-cm liver tumor involving the anterior and medial segments, which suggested HCA with intratumoral hemorrhage. She initially underwent transarterial embolization (TAE) for hemostasis at a previous hospital. Subsequent CT showed thrombi in the inferior vena cava and pulmonary artery, and she was referred to our institution. On the basis of her stable condition and the presumed benign nature of the tumor, anticoagulation therapy was initiated to treat the thromboses, and elective surgery was planned. After 8 months, the thrombi had resolved, and the tumor had decreased in size. Laparoscopic central bisectionectomy was then successfully performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on POD 8.

conclusionsIn patients with a large HCA complicated by hemorrhage and venous thromboses, a staged approach consisting of TAE and anticoagulation may enable safe and minimally invasive elective laparoscopic hepatectomy.
