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

A 46-year-old woman was referred for a second opinion regarding an intra-abdominal mass discovered on imaging performed for abdominal pain and distension. The tumour appeared to involve the small bowel, left colon and mesentery and was initially thought to be consistent with an infiltrative tumour or loculated mucinous ascites. Due to the unusual appearance of the tumour and suspicion for an omental-based mass, a laparoscopic resection was recommended to the patient. Intraoperatively, the tumour was found to be a multiloculated, benign appearing, omental cyst without involvement of the bowel and was completely resected laparoscopically. Pathology demonstrated a multiloculated peritoneal mesothelial cyst.
