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

Nabothian cysts (NCs) are benign cervical mucous retention cysts, which are usually considered insignificant. A 45 years para 2, presented with lower abdominal heaviness, abnormal uterine bleeding and severe dysmenorrhea for 1 year. On examination, only a part of the anterior cervical lip was visible, and a tense bulging cyst was replacing the posterior lip. The cyst extended supravaginally and filled the posterior fornix. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested a 15 cm × 10 cm huge NC. Laparoscopic hysterectomy was done. There were difficulties in bladder dissection, ureteric identification, and vault delineation. The cyst contained 800 ml of clear fluid with a few milliliters of yellowish mucinous fluid. To our knowledge, NC of this size has not been reported in the literature. NCs are benign lesions, but they have to be differentiated from other cervical cysts - particularly malignant or premalignant lesions. NC can very well be managed laparoscopically, provided the skills of precise dissection are possessed by the surgeon.
