A Case Report of Neuroendocrine Tumor in Presacral Region: How Can It Be Managed? Laparoscopy versus Laparotomy.

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
Presacral or retrorectal tumors are rare, usually asymptomatic, and diagnosed accidentally during physical examination or imaging. Symptomatic tumors may present with perianal pain, bowel dysfunction, and urinary symptoms due to the mass compression or invasion of the surrounding tissues and organs. Surgical resection is the first choice for treating presacral tumors. Clinicians should choose surgical procedures based on the location and size of the tumors. We presented a 43-year-old woman who suffered from pelvic pain and primary infertility from two years ago. A large mass between the posterior vaginal wall and the rectum was found on recto-vaginal examination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large 120×115 mm benign multiloculated cystic mass. Eventually, the mass was removed through laparoscopic surgery. The pathology report indicated a carcinoid tumor (grade I) with no lymphovascular invasion. Thus, presacral tumors are resectable through laparoscopy with lower complications than open surgery.
