Case Report: Whispers of the serpent: exploring uncommon imaging features in primary hepatic malignant mesothelioma.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. 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
Primary hepatic malignant mesothelioma (PHMM) is an uncommon and aggressive neoplasm with vague clinical and radiological features, posing challenges for preoperative diagnosis. In our case, a lobulated hepatic mass demonstrated a serpiginous peripheral enhancement pattern on contrast-enhanced CT and MRI. This uncommon imaging manifestation has been sporadically documented in previous reports. By consolidating these findings, our report emphasizes serpiginous peripheral enhancement as a potential diagnostic clue for PHMM. Recognition of this pattern may aid earlier detection, improve differential diagnosis, and guide timely surgical decision-making in affected patients.
