Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst resembling an adrenal tumor in adult: Three case reports and literature review.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Bronchogenic cyst is a rare congenital malformation of the tracheobronchial bud originating from the primitive foregut, especially in the retroperitoneal region. Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts in adults are difficult to make an accurate diagnosis preoperatively. Case presentation: We present three cases of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts resembling adrenal tumors in adults. Three cases were asymptomatic, and all were located on the left side. There was no significant enhancement of the cyst walls on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Two cases presented with typical multilocular sacs and scattered calcification on radiology, whereas the other one showed unilocular sacs, without calcification, and elevation of serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 and CA 24-2. Three cases underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgeries. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts. There was no recurrence of the three cases during follow-up. Clinical Discussion: A retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst is mostly asymptomatic. It can be found in adults with variable findings in computed tomography. It can be likely ignored and misdiagnosed as an adrenal tumor. Conclusion: The tests of CA 19-9 and CA 24-2 could help diagnose retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts. Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery is recommended for the treatment of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts with a favorable prognosis.
