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

We present a rare case of simultaneous occurrence of mucinous cystadenoma of the liver (MCN-L) and a hepatic hydatid cyst (HD-L) in a middle-aged female patient. This is the first case report of a common disease (HD-L) and a rare condition (MCN-H) occurring concurrently. MCN-H of the left lobe was inadequately resected in a rural centre leading to recurrence. She presented with a large upper abdominal lump and upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Radiological investigations and an ultrasound revealed a multilobulated cyst involving both lobes of the liver. There was no ascites. Liver function, basic haematology and renal function were normal. The recurrent MCN-L was removed totally. There was no communication between the MCN-L and the right lobe cyst, which turned out to be a hydatid cyst. The hydatid cyst was evacuated. She was discharged on albendazole and is asymptomatic with no recurrence at 8 months.
