1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Biliary mucinous cystic neoplasms (BMCNs) are rare and slow-growing lesions that are usually discovered incidentally. They can imitate various other liver tumors. Here, we present a 31-year-old female patient who presented with complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, shortness of breath, and obstructive jaundice. Ultrasound showed a large, lobulated, cystic liver mass. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed features suggestive of a hydatid cyst or complicated liver cyst. A laparoscopic deroofing was performed and showed a liver cyst involving segments 2, 3, 4A, and 4B. Histopathology showed that the cyst wall was lined by columnar mucin-producing epithelium with multifocal areas of ovarian-like stroma, and the diagnosis of biliary mucinous cystic neoplasms was made. A one-year, follow-up radiological examination did not show any recurrence. BMCNs are quite rare. The nonspecific nature of the symptoms and radiological characteristics makes the diagnosis of BMCN challenging. Imaging modalities can aid in the diagnosis, but pathological examination is essential in confirming a definite diagnosis.
