Cystic Lymphangioma of the Mesentery in an Adult: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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 are rare benign cystic tumors. Surgical excision is the primary treatment, aiming for complete removal. Diagnosis relies on imaging and histological confirmation. Malignant transformation is exceptionally rare. We report a 25-year-old man admitted for peri-umbilical abdominal pain and an abdominal mass. Imaging revealed multilocular peritoneal cystic formations with infiltration of adjacent mesenteric fat. Laboratory findings were unremarkable, and exploratory laparotomy was performed. A voluminous cystic mass originating from the mesentery was discovered, requiring intestinal sacrifice for complete resection. Immediate postoperative recovery was smooth. Pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of mesenteric cystic lymphangioma. The patient had a favorable outcome with no tumor recurrence at a three-year follow-up. We emphasize the significance of complete surgical removal to prevent complications associated with cystic lymphangioma and reduce the risk of recurrence.
