Giant complex hepatic cyst causing pseudocystitis: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundHepatic cysts are common benign liver tumors that are typically asymptomatic. However, larger cysts, particularly giant liver cysts, can potentially induce symptoms. If the diameter of the cyst exceeds 10 cm, it can exert pressure on adjacent organs, leading to manifestations of corresponding symptoms. Here, we report the case of a complex giant hepatic cyst that caused pseudocystitis. CASE SUMMARY: A 16-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with frequent and urgent urination. Ultrasonography revealed no obvious uterine adnexal abnormalities but showed a hypoechoic, cystic mass (173 mm × 84 mm × 138 mm) with clear boundaries, and an unclear blood flow signal in the abdominal cavity (extending from the lower edge of the left lobe of liver to the upper edge of the bladder). Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a giant cystic mass in the abdominal and pelvic cavities, possibly originating from the liver, and a small amount of free fluid in the pelvic cavity, which subsequent magnetic resonance imaging confirmed. The imaging characteristics were consistent with a benign lesion. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of the giant liver cyst with partial liver resection. Post-surgery her symptoms urinary symptoms were relieved completely and she was discharged on the sixth postoperative day.
conclusionOur patient presented with symptoms suggestive of pseudocystitis, stressing the need for considering possibilities of other etiologies and differential diagnoses.
