Percutaneous aspiration and sclerotherapy of a giant simple hepatic cyst causing obstructive jaundice: A case report and review of literature.

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
backgroundGiant simple hepatic cysts causing intrahepatic duct dilatation and obstructive jaundice are uncommon. A variety of measures with different clinical efficacies and invasiveness have been developed. Nonsurgical management, such as percutaneous aspiration and sclerotherapy, is often applied. CASE SUMMARY: The case is a 39-year-old female with a 5-mo history of cutaneous and scleral icterus, loss of appetite, and dark urine. Lab tests showed jaundice and liver function abnormalities. Imaging revealed a giant simple hepatic cyst obstructing the intrahepatic bile ducts. A combination of percutaneous catheter aspiration and lauromacrogol sclerotherapy was successfully performed and the effects were satisfactory with the size of cyst decreasing from 13.7 cm × 13.1 cm to 3.0 cm × 3.0 cm. Further literature review presented the challenges of managing giant simple hepatic cysts that cause obstructive jaundice and compared the safety and efficacy of a combination of percutaneous aspiration and lauromacrogol sclerotherapy with other management strategies.
conclusionGiant simple hepatic cysts can cause obstructive jaundice, and a combination of percutaneous catheter aspiration and sclerotherapy with lauromacrogol are suggested to treat such cases.
