Mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L): a rare presentation and review of the literature.
Article in Medicine and pharmacy reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the liver (MCN-L, (previously referred to as cystadenomas or cystadenocarcinoma) are rare cystic tumors that occur within the liver parenchyma, or less frequently, in the extrahepatic bile ducts. They are reported to account for <5% of all liver cysts. The differential diagnosis of MCN-L includes intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with cystic change, echinococcal cyst, and a simple cyst. Invasive MCNs can only be differentiated from non-invasive MCNs by microscopic evaluation for the presence of ovarian-type stroma. Intraoperative biopsy and frozen section(s) are essential to differentiate MCNs from other cystic liver lesions. The treatment of choice is complete excision and can result in excellent survival with initial correct diagnosis. But its rare presentation and insufficient recognition frequently lead to an incorrect initial or delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis.
