Abdominal unicentric Castleman's disease: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Castleman's disease is a rare disease characterized by benign lymphoepithelial proliferation. There are two forms: unicentric and multicentric Castleman's disease. Mediastinal location is the most frequent. Intra-abdominal Castleman's disease is a rare presentation. We report a case of 65-year-old female who presented with epigastric pain. Investigations revealed a retroperitoneal mass which was surgically resected. Histopathological examination showed hyaline-vascular type Castleman's disease. In conclusion, Castelman´s disease is a diagnostic challenge and it must be included in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumors.
