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

Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts (RBCs) are regarded as a rare type of congenital dysplasia disease that stems from the primitive foregut. Thus far, the exact pathogenesis of RBCs remains unknown. Due to an atypical clinical manifestation, RBCs are often incidentally detected and diagnosed by imaging modalities, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. However, they are easily misdiagnosed due to their non-specific imaging features. Additionally, the most appropriate treatment strategy for an RBC is considered to be surgical resection. The present study reports the rare case of a 36-year-old female with a large RBC containing fatty fluid that was previously misdiagnosed as liposarcoma or cystic teratoma. Following a complex surgical resection, pathological findings confirmed a diagnosis of RBC. The follow-up examination showed that the patient was in good health at 16 months post-surgery, with no evidence of recurrence. Although rare, bronchogenic cysts must be considered in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal teratoma, and surgical resection should be pursued for symptom resolution and to establish a definitive histology.
