Surgical excision of a large retroperitoneal lymphangioma: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLymphangiomas are rare benign tumors most commonly found in children under 2 years of age; adult cases are extremely rare. Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas represent less than 1% of all lymphangiomas. Because of their benign nature and possibility of spontaneous resolution, lymphangiomas are sometimes left untreated for long periods of time. However, if they grow large enough to compress surrounding structures, retroperitoneal lymphangiomas may cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting. We report a case of a rapidly growing retroperitoneal lymphangioma in an adult, treated with complete surgical excision. CASE SUMMARY: A 60-year-old female who was diagnosed with an intra-abdominal cystic mass (11 cm × 9.5 cm) seven years ago presented to our hospital with symptoms of early satiety, nausea, and intermittent abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed interval enlargement to a 24 cm × 22 cm-sized huge left retroperitoneal mass, causing left hydronephrosis by external compression. Laparotomy was done
conclusionExcision of the huge retroperitoneal cystic mass resulted in relief of the patient's symptoms, originally caused by external compression, and also ruled out the possibility of malignancy.
