Curious Case of a Giant Retroperitoneal Cyst.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Adrenal cysts are uncommon fluid-filled masses that develop in the adrenal gland. Typically, they are non-functional, asymptomatic, and smaller than 10 cm in diameter when incidentally detected. However, the presence of giant adrenal cysts, exceeding 10 cm in diameter, creates a diagnostic challenge due to the difficulty in determining their origin. Surgical intervention is advised when the cyst surpasses 10 cm in diameter, produces symptoms, causes endocrine abnormalities, exhibits intracystic bleeding, or raises suspicion of malignancy. The preferred treatment approach involves adrenalectomy, performed either through open surgery or laparoscopy. In cases where the diagnosis is unequivocal, ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage serves as an alternative. Here, we present an exceptional case of a massive retroperitoneal mass caused by a rare giant adrenal cyst.
