Surgical management of tailgut cysts: A rare case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. 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
rationaleTailgut cysts are a type of very rare congenital polycystic lesions that are always located posterior to the rectum and anterior to the sacrum. The symptoms of tailgut cysts are nonspecific and misleading. Therefore, a full understanding of the characteristics of tailgut cysts is important for their diagnosis and treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a 46-year-old female with a sacrococcygeal mass that had been present for about 2 years. DIAGNOSES: Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated several cystic masses, the largest of which had a diameter of about 2.8 cm, near the ligaments of the sacrospinous and rectum. Pathological examination confirmed the tailgut cysts, with no signs of malignant transformation.
interventionsThe patient received complete surgical cysts resection, which was performed through the sacrococcygeal region. OUTCOMES: The patient recovered well with no obvious complication and was discharged on the sixth-day post-surgery. Follow-up 6 months later revealed no signs of cyst recurrence. LESSONS: The symptoms and diagnostic characteristics of tailgut cysts should be fully understood. Complete surgical resection through the sacrococcygeal region is vital to treat tailgut cysts.
