Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma: A case report with review of literature.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction and importance: Primary Retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma (PRMC) is an extremely rare benign tumor, predominantly occurring in women, with unclear pathogenesis. Case presentation: A 31-year-old woman, with no medical or surgical history, presented with left flank pain. Clinical discussion: An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an 11cm retroperitoneal cyst. Due to its large size, percutaneous CT-guided drainage followed by a laparotomy surgical resection, were performed. Post-operative course was uneventful. Histological and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with PRMC. The patient was disease-free after a 6-month follow-up. Conclusion: Mucinous cystadenoma is a very odd finding in the retroperitoneum. Multiple differential diagnoses are to be considered beforehand, as most of cystic lesions in this anatomical region are malignant and require a different surgical approach. Radical resection, by laparotomy or laparoscopy, is the treatment of choice.
