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

Dermoid cyst is a kind of mature cystic teratoma that contains only one germ layer. It usually occurs in the head and neck, retroperitoneal dermoid cysts are uncommon. Teratomas are characterized by mixed density and features like calcification or air-fluid level. Here, we present a case of 40-year-old female with a 12.1 cm × 10.0 cm retroperitoneal fatty mass which showed no calcification and few other specific characteristics of teratoma. Thin and uniform separations were observed. On PET-CT, it was adherent to several retroperitoneal organs like left adrenal gland and left kidney, and had a close relationship with several retroperitoneal vessels like aorta, superior mesenteric arteriovenous, left superior renal artery and inferior vena cava. On PET-CT, mild
