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

Bronchogenic cysts are primitive, foregut-derived developmental anomalies with bronchial-type, pseudostratified cylindrical epithelium. They are usually discovered in the thorax. The occurrence of such cysts in the retroperitoneum is extremely rare. Imaging techniques are generally effective in the detection of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst. Here, we report two cases (a 27-year-old man and a 33-year-old man) who had no clinical symptoms and were found by chance to have masses in the adrenal gland area during routine physical examination. We found that they had some similar computed tomography imaging features, including complete adrenal structure, cystic fusiform mass in adrenal region, and inclusion of calcifications in the lesions. However, accurate preoperative diagnosis remains difficult and only histology can provide a definitive diagnosis. Surgery remains the treatment of choice.
