Lymphangioma of Colon Presenting as an Intramural Tumor.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Lymphangiomas are rare and benign vascular malformations of the lymphatic system. They may arise in any location and at all ages and have variable presentation. These lesions in the intestinal wall are reported very rarely. In the case of colonic lymphangiomas, it is more common in late adulthood and old age, which, in this age group is thought to be associated with local disturbances of lymphatic circulation secondary to inflammation, degeneration, surgical procedure, trauma or radiation. The clinical presentation of colonic lymphangiomas varies from incidental findings on imaging to presenting with acute abdomen. The imaging features are usually multilocular cyst in intramural colon and submucosal mass on endoscopy. However, in the case of symptomatic lesions with atypical image findings, and the fact that the disease is rare, preoperative diagnosis is often difficult. On the other hand, although these cystic tumors do not transform into malignancy, they can be locally invasive or complicated, and often require resection. We report a 53-year-old male who had a cystic lymphangioma of the transverse colon illustrated by imaging modalities and recognized via postoperative histopathological examination.
