Adult with concurrent mesenteric cyst and acute appendicitis: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mesenteric cysts are uncommon intra-abdominal lesions that account for only one in every 100 000 adult hospitalizations. Their diagnosis is based on a comprehensive clinical examination as well as radiological modalities such as ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) scans, and it is usually a clinical challenge because of non-specific symptoms. We present our first case of a 51-year-old man with a simple mesenteric cyst accompanying acute appendicitis diagnosed by CT scan of the abdomen and treated by exploratory laparotomy, complete enucleation of the cyst and appendectomy with a 10 month follow-up without complications or recurrence. This type of presentation has not been thoroughly investigated, with only two children reported during our literature review. Even if there is a high level of suspicion, a CT scan is required for confirmation.
