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: To investigate the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, imaging and pathological features, and treatment methods of primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL). Case presentation: A 61-year-old male with a history of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection presented to the hospital complaining of abdominal pain. Preoperative abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass in the right lobe of the liver, accompanied by an elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level. Consequently, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was initially suspected. Following a comprehensive multidisciplinary consultation, the patient underwent an anatomical hepatectomy. Histopathological examination post-surgery confirmed the diagnosis of primary hepatic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. The patient received chemotherapy as an adjunct to surgical treatment. During the five-year follow-up period, there was no evidence of tumor recurrence. Conclusion: Primary hepatic MALT lymphoma is infrequently encountered in clinical practice. Its clinical and radiological presentations are often nonspecific, making the pathological evaluation the definitive diagnostic tool. Surgical resection, in conjunction with chemotherapy, remains the cornerstone of management for this condition. The prognosis for most patients is favorable.
