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

Bronchogenic cysts, benign congenital malformations resulting from abnormal tracheobronchial tree budding, primarily manifest in the mediastinum, with retroperitoneal occurrence being exceedingly rare. Typically incidental findings on imaging, and their diagnosis pose challenges, particularly when malignancy is suspected. We present a case involving a 55-year-old woman diagnosed with chronic back pain. Physical examination revealed a painful mass in the left renal region. Subsequent MRI identified a smooth mass in the left adrenal gland without infiltration of surrounding structures. Laparoscopic surgery successfully removed the lesion without complications. Pathomorphological examination confirmed a gelatinous-filled cyst, identified as a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst in the left adrenal gland. Increasing reports of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cysts contribute to a better understanding of their characteristics, aiding preoperative diagnosis. However, given potential malignancy and definitive diagnosis through histopathological examination, surgical resection remains the preferred method.
