A rare case of retroperitoneal and mesenteric lymphangiomatosis.

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
Lymphagiomatosis are rare benign malformations of the lymphatic system. They are more commonly seen during childhood and are frequently asymptomatic and incidentally found in the adult patient. We report a case of a 31-year-old male who presented initially with melena. Computer tomography scan revealed multiple confluent, fluid-density lesions encasing the retroperitoneum and mesentery. A laparotomy and incisional biopsy of the mesenteric lesion was performed. Histologic examination demonstrated fibrofatty tissue with prominent, thick-walled endothelial-lined vessels. The histologic and computer tomography findings were consistent with a diagnosis of retroperitoneal and mesenteric lymphangiomatosis. The patient was subsequently discharged home well.
