Primary Splenic Epidermoid Cyst: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Primary splenic epidermal cysts, a type I splenic lesion, are very uncommon and usually found coincidentally. In this report, we present a primary splenic epidermal cyst that presented as a mass in the left upper quadrant associated with sharp pain, early satiety, and constipation. We review the classification of splenic cysts with a detailed look into the causes and types of type I cysts. We discuss the different treatment options, how current and past surgical options are controversial, and indications for splenectomy in spleen cysts. We explore how percutaneous drainage as a bridge to splenectomy may have been beneficial in a splenic cyst of great size. This splenic cyst was attempted laparoscopically but converted to an open splenectomy after complications. The patient recovered with no difficulties postoperatively.
