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

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a rabbit model of inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver (IPTL) using an ultrasound-guided implantation technique and to assess its feasibility, safety, and imaging characteristics in comparison with a surgical embedding approach. Methods: Twenty-six New Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the ultrasound-guided implantation group (Experimental Group), the surgical embedding group (Surgical Group), or a blank control group. IPTL lesions were induced using a combination of gelatin sponge and Freund's complete adjuvant. Parameters assessed included operative duration, lesion modeling success rate, findings from conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), laboratory indicators, and histopathological outcomes. Results: All animals survived without severe complications. The lesion modeling success rates were 90% in the Experimental Group and 95% in the Surgical Group ( Conclusion: The ultrasound-guided implantation technique is a safe, efficient, and reproducible method for modeling IPTL in rabbits. The resulting lesions exhibit histopathological and CEUS characteristics that closely resemble those observed in human IPTL, supporting its utility as an experimental platform for further research into the pathophysiology and imaging features of IPTL.
