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

Introduction: Gastric duplication cyst (GDC) is a rare congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Though GDC is often misdiagnosed, misidentification as an adrenal cyst has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a case of GDC in a young female mimicking an adrenal cyst. Case Presentation: A 17-year-old female presented with chronic epigastric pain, nausea, and intermittent vomiting. Physical examinations revealed mild tenderness in the epigastric region. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed no abnormality. Ultrasound, contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan, and MRI of the abdomen and pelvis showed an oval-shaped left adrenal cystic lesion measuring 33 × 26 mm. Preoperative blood investigations and hormonal assessments were normal. Laparoscopy showed that the cyst originated from the greater curvature of the stomach. The left adrenal gland was normal. After an intraoperative consultation with a gastrointestinal surgeon, a wedge resection of the cyst was performed. Histopathology confirmed the gastric duplication cyst. Conclusion: GDCs are rare congenital malformations that may become symptomatic during adulthood. They can mimic adrenal cysts and lead to misdiagnosis.
