Unusually rapid development of a lateral neck mass: Diagnosis and treatment of a branchial cleft cyst. A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionBranchial cleft cysts are benign lesions caused by anomalous development of the branchial cleft. Cases that arise in the lateral neck region are often misdiagnosed, resulting initially in inappropriate management. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a 32-year-old woman with a swelling on the right side of her neck and no pain during palpation or neck motion. DISCUSSION: The patient was evaluated using fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The MRI showed a right-sided cervical mass with hyperintense content, well-defined margins, and no evidence of infiltration into surrounding structures, while FNAC found a yellow, pus-like fluid, keratinised anuclear cells, squamous epithelium, and a matrix of amorphous debris.
conclusionBased on the images and the patient's symptoms, a surgical intervention was performed.
