Ideal treatment strategy for chylous mesenteric cyst: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundA mesenteric chylous cyst is defined as a cyst occurring in the mesentery of the gastrointestinal tract anywhere from the duodenum to the rectum and is diagnosed most often during the fifth decade of life. CASE PRESENTATION: In our case report, we describe a case of 38-year-old Greek woman who presented at our Emergency Department complaining of abdominal pain without any other symptoms. Her medical and family histories were clear and she had never had any abdominal interventions. During an imaging examination with ultrasound of her abdomen, an anechoic lesion in her upper left abdomen was revealed. In a further investigation with computed tomography, a well-defined hypodense cystic 7.08 × 6.05 cm mass with mild enhancement was noted. The mass was excised by open laparotomy within healthy borders and the specimen was sent for pathological examination. The histopathological findings were found to be most consistent with a simple lymphatic (chylous) cyst of the mesentery. A review of the literature considering this rare entity was also performed to evaluate our treatment strategy and the result was analyzed.
conclusionsChylous cysts represent a diagnostic challenge and they should be considered when a physician encounters an intraabdominal mass. Physical examination and imaging do not always provide a diagnosis and surgical management should be advised due to the potential complications that may develop.
