Fatal Hemoperitoneum Due to Rupture of a Hepatic Vascular Malformation With Focal Absence of Hepatic Parenchyma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
We describe an exceptionally rare case of fatal hemoperitoneum resulting from rupture of a hepatic vascular malformation associated with focal absence of hepatic parenchyma. A 60-year-old man with alcoholic cirrhosis died of intra-abdominal bleeding. Autopsy revealed a sharply depressed area on the dorsal surface of the right hepatic lobe. Histologically, this depression corresponded to a complete defect of hepatic parenchyma, replaced only by scant fibro-fatty tissue abutting large portal tracts. Prominent branches of the hepatic artery and portal vein were exposed at the base, accompanied by clusters of dilated CD31-positive vessels and D2-40-positive lymphatics. No tumor was identified. To our knowledge, this is among the first detailed descriptions of a congenital-type hepatic vascular anomaly characterized by focal parenchymal absence, which can culminate in catastrophic hemorrhage.
