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

Mesenteric cystic lymphangiomas (MCLs) are uncommon benign tumors that arise from the lymphatic vessels. These tumors represent 5-6% of all pediatric benign tumors. Presentation: Herein, we present a case of MCL in a 16-month-old child with an unusual report of symptoms. We used abdominal X-rays, ultrasonography, laboratory tests, and histopathological examination. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of the MCL along with histopathological examination. Conclusion: The main message of this report is not to ignore the cases of intestinal obstruction, even if they were transient, and the operation choice should always be in mind, even in the absence of any surgical precedents. In addition, the X-ray may not tell us the whole story about MCL's existence. These cases must be carefully dealt with and studied, which gives a remarkable level of uniqueness in this case.
