Laparoscopic deroofing of a large hepatic cyst to relieve atypical cardiac symptoms.

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
A woman in her 60s was referred to the hepato-pancreato-biliary clinic for further assessment of a large hepatic cyst, which was incidentally identified by echocardiography. She was being investigated for possible crescendo angina on the backdrop of a 6-month history of increasing chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, orthopnoea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea. Coronary angiography and echocardiography demonstrated normal cardiac physiology. A CT abdomen/pelvis confirmed an 8.5 cm hepatic cyst indenting the posterior and caudate lobes and abutting the inferior vena cava. Nocturnal dyspnoea was attributed to diminished venous return. Due to worsening symptoms and their impact on her job, the patient underwent laparoscopic deroofing of the hepatic cyst. Histopathology confirmed a simple hepatic cyst. In her first postoperative review clinic, 8 months after her initial visit to the cardiology team, the patient was asymptomatic and fully functional with a considerably improved quality of life.
