Simple drainage versus drainage with minocycline infusion for symptomatic hepatic cysts.
Article in Journal of clinical biochemistry and nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Percutaneous treatment of symptomatic hepatic cysts includes simple drainage and drainage with sclerosing agents. We compared the efficacy of simple drainage with that of drainage with minocycline infusion for treating symptomatic hepatic cysts. We retrospectively evaluated 11 patients who underwent percutaneous drainage of symptomatic hepatic cysts. In seven cases, minocycline infusion was added at the discretion of the clinician. Cyst volume was evaluated before drainage, immediately after drainage, and after long-term follow-up. Cyst volume was calculated before treatment by multiplying the orthogonal diameters using the ellipsoid formula. Relapse was defined as the regrowth of the cyst with symptoms. Cyst volume immediately after drainage and after long-term follow-up was significantly less than that before treatment for the drainage with minocycline infusion group (
