Spontaneous rupture of non-parasitic or non-neoplastic multiple and giant liver cysts: report of a case.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2015. 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
Simple liver cysts occasionally cause pressure symptoms of the abdomen. We herein report an extremely rare case of spontaneous rupture of simple liver cysts. A 65-year-old woman suffered abdominal fullness and dyspnea. Laboratory examinations revealed general inflammation and mild hepatorenal dysfunction. Computed tomography revealed giant polycystic liver and ascites. Echinococcus antibody was not detected. Abdominal paracentesis provided dark brown transparent ascites in which any parasites or tumor cells were not observed. We diagnosed spontaneous rupture of isolated polycystic liver disease (PCLD) and continuously drained the ascites. After the symptoms and laboratory data were improved, resection of liver cysts and left lateral segmentectomy were performed. Histopathologically, simple columnar epithelia inside of cyst walls were observed. The patient remains well without recurrence of the symptoms 10 months after the surgery. We reviewed characteristics of PCLD and considered appropriate treatment for spontaneous rupture of simple liver cysts based on the previous case reports including the present case.
