Positron emission tomography/computed tomography findings of multiple cystic lymphangiomas in an adult: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundLymphangioma is a rare benign cystic tumor believed to be a proliferation of heterotopic lymphocytes. It is caused by congenital lymphatic dysplasia or other acquired factors related to surgery, trauma, infection, or cancer. In this article, we present the case of an adult patient who underwent multi-modal imaging and whose condition was finally confirmed to be multiple cystic lymphangiomas by pathological examination. CASE SUMMARY: A 61-year-old man was referred to our hospital for having suffered from painless gross hematuria for 2 wk. Multiple masses rising from the retroperitoneum and pelvis were found incidentally by urinary ultrasonography. Contrast-enhanced abdominal-pelvic computed tomography showed multiple well-defined hypodense cystic lesions without enhancement. The lesions showed no uptake on F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography images. Exploratory laparotomy was performed, and the case was confirmed as multiple cystic lymphangiomas.
conclusionWhen retroperitoneal and pelvic masses are found, clinicians should always consider cystic lymphangioma when making a differential diagnosis.
