Laparoscopic resection of a giant choledochal cyst: A rare case report.

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
Giant choledochal cysts are rare, and so little data exist on the best surgical treatment method. We present here, a case of a giant choledochal cyst that was successfully excised by laparoscopic resection. A 37-year-old female presented with right upper abdominal pain and mild jaundice. On examination she had a right upper abdominal mass which on imaging was observed to be a giant choledochal cyst of type IVa, measuring approximately 129 mm × 190 mm. Her blood test results showed abnormal liver function. We successfully performed laparoscopic resection of the cyst, the patient recovered well and was discharged from hospital eight days post-operation without any complications. We wish to share the experience of this rare case and provide some clinical basis for future diagnosis and use of laparoscopic resection in the treatment of giant choledochal cysts.
