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

Gastrointestinal tract duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations which can be diagnosed as early as the prenatal period but are frequently found in infancy or incidentally in adulthood. They can be seen throughout the alimentary tract with the most common involving the distal ileum and second most common the esophagus. Many duplication cysts are asymptomatic and thus discovered as an incidental imaging finding, though they can also be symptomatic with an array of clinical presentations dependent largely on their location. The vast majority of duplication cysts are benign; however, there are rare instances of malignant transformation reported. The aim of this review is to show how multimodality imaging can help in the diagnosis of duplication cysts at various anatomical locations. Duplication cyst can become symptomatic and in rare cases undergo malignant transformation; therefore, they are typically managed with surgical excision, particularly if found prenatally or during infancy. Given the diversity of anatomic locations, multiple differential diagnoses, and the need for surgical intervention, it is valuable to comprehend the role of multimodality imaging role in diagnosing duplication cysts.
