Mesenteric cystic lymphangioma in an adult: An unusual case report.

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
Introduction: Cystic lymphangioma is a benign malformation tumor of the lymphatic system. Its location is variable, and mesenteric localization remains extremely rare. Case presentation: We describe a rare case of cystic lymphangioma of the mesentery in a 26 years old woman. The diagnosis was suspected following an abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), showing a large polylobulated cyst in contact with the stomach, the tail of the pancreas, the spleen, and the antero-external cortex of the left kidney. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery with a pericystectomy. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma of the mesentery. The patient's postoperative recovery was uneventful. After a Follow up of one year after surgery, there was no evidence of recurrence. Clinical discussion: Cystic lymphangioma of the mesentery is a benign malformation tumor of the lymphatic system. Its clinical aspects are very polymorphic; the diagnosis is evoked by radiological imaging but requires pathological confirmation. Surgery is the gold standard in the management of this pathology. Conclusion: We highlight the importance of radical surgical resection to avoid Cystic lymphangioma complications and minimize the recurrence risk.
