Differentiating a large abdominal cystic lymphangioma from multicystic mesothelioma: report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 report a case of retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma in a 30-year-old woman who presented with abdominal distention and pain. Imaging studies revealed a large, thin-walled multicystic mass occupying the whole abdomen. Based on a preoperative diagnosis of multicystic mesothelioma, we performed laparotomy, which revealed a tumor arising from the gastropancreatic ligament in the posterior wall of the omental bursa. We resected the tumor completely, without the adjacent viscera. The final pathological diagnosis was cystic lymphangioma, based on the immunohistochemical findings of positive CD31 and CD34 expression, the presence of smooth muscle confirmed by smooth muscle antigen and desmin, and negative calretinin, WT-1 and cytokeratins 5/6 expression. Multicystic mesotheliomas and cystic lymphangiomas are so similar in morphology that immunohistochemical staining should be fully utilized to differentiate them.
