Benign cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum in a 12-year-old boy, diagnosed via telepathology.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Low resource countries often have inadequate healthcare systems that, among other problems, suffer from a severe shortage of local expertise. In fields such as pathology, however, where diagnoses are mainly based on macroscopic and histological images, telemedicine can provide an opportunity to supplement the local capabilities by involving a world-wide network of experts. For this, the local pathologist can upload images to an online platform and then consult with international colleagues via teleconferencing, which can be particularly useful in rare or difficult cases. We present the case of a 12-year-old Afghan boy with benign cystic mesothelioma, an extremely rare benign tumour. Using the online platform IPath, we were able to diagnose the eighth reported case of this rare condition in a child, in collaboration with our colleagues in Afghanistan.
