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
Lymphangiomas in the peritoneal cavity are rare in adults, with most cases occurring in children. We present the case of a 49-year-old woman who was admitted with severe lower abdominal pain. The diagnostic assessment revealed a multiloculated cystic structure in the mesentery of the distal ileum, suggesting a lymphangioma. The patient underwent laparotomy and resection, with successful removal of the mass. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of intestinal lymphangioma, a rare benign vascular neoplasm of the small bowel. Postoperatively, the patient experienced resolution of postoperative ileus and mild back and abdominal pain, with no complaints during follow-up. Awareness of this uncommon condition is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Surgical resection, supported by radiological and histopathological investigations, is the primary treatment modality for symptomatic lymphangioma. Regular follow-up with imaging may be necessary to monitor recurrence.
