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

A tailgut cyst is a type of benign congenital disease that mainly develops in the retro-rectal space. However, malignant transition can occur in some cases of tailgut cysts. Early and precise diagnosis, and proper treatment, are vital for patients with tailgut cysts with malignant transformation. In this review, we aim to summarize the similarities and differences in the diagnosis and treatment methods among the 3 most frequently reported types of tailgut cysts with malignant transformation. In our study, PubMed and Web of Science databases were used to search for the studies and the key words were "tailgut cysts" and "malignancy". We found 176 articles and selected 75 articles in our survey, with 9 reviews, 35 case reports, and 31 case reports and reviews.
