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
Cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors. Most are diagnosed in childhood and their presentation in adults is rare. Retroperitoneal cystic lymphangiomas constitute only 1% of lymphangiomas. Unfortunately the differentiation between cystic lymphangiomas and other cystic tumors is often not possible and surgery with histology is essential for confirmation of diagnosis. A 20-year-old lady with retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma presented with acute abdomen. In the diagnosis of this patient, abdominal Ultrasound, CT and MRI scans were obtained.
