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

backgroundCongenital hepatic cysts are relatively rare but are now diagnosed earlier and more frequently with a routine prenatal ultrasound. Solitary liver cysts are divided into simple and solitary intrahepatic biliary cysts, depending on the biliary connection. While some solitary liver cysts are symptomatic in childhood, even in newborns, they are often found incidentally in adults. CASE SUMMARY: A 3-mo-old female infant was admitted to Mogadishu Somali Training and Research Hospital with recurrent vomiting, respiratory problems, and abdominal bloating complaints. On examination, the abdomen was greatly distended and extremely tight. She had repeated vomiting for 3 d, no stool output, and decreased urine. The abdominal ultrasonography detected a solitary cystic lesion measuring 10 cm × 10 cm × 14 cm, extending from the liver or right kidney to the pelvis. In the magnetic resonance imaging examination of the patient, a solitary cystic structure of 10 cm × 10 cm × 14 cm in the right abdomen was observed, extending to the pelvis and possibly originating from the liver. The patient was operated

conclusionCongenital liver cysts are usually followed without complications. They rarely reach gigantic dimensions and may cause respiratory distress, intestinal obstruction and recurrent vomiting. Surgery can provide quite successful outcomes in the treatment of giant sized simple liver cysts.
