Tailgut cyst with adenocarcinoma transition: A rare case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
rationaleTailgut cyst (TGC) is a rare congenital disease that originates from residues of the tail intestine during the embryonic period. Most TGCs are benign lesions and the malignant transition is very rare. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 50-year-old woman attended our department complaining of defecation difficulty for more than 2 months. She reported irregular defecation with a small amount of liquid stool, 3 to 4 times per day. DIAGNOSIS: Biochemical analysis showed high levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (79.89 ng/mL; normal, 0-3 ng/mL) and carbohydrate antigen 199 (57.60 U/mL; normal, 0-35 U/mL). Abdominal computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large cystic mass with enhanced signals. Post-surgical histopathology indicated that the mass was a TGC with adenocarcinoma transition.
interventionsThe cyst was completely resected. Symptomatic treatment was further performed, and the patient recovered well. LESSONS: We reported a rare case of a large TGC with adenocarcinoma transition. CT, MRI, and histopathology are important to diagnose TGC. Complete surgical resection is the first choice to treat TGC.
