Localized retroperitoneal mass suspected malignancy: A rare case of unicentric Castleman's disease.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Key Clinical Message: Castleman's Disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses, especially in equivocal cases. Clinician should not presume all cases of retroperitoneal masses as a malignancy. Abstract: Castleman's Disease is a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders, that can develop in lymph nodes or in extranodal sites. It has three distinct histological subtypes; hyaline vascular, plasma cell or mixed. It can be unicentric or multicentric, and sometimes oligocentric or regional. In this article, we report a case of a 30-year-old male who presented with a palpable left lumbar mass, clinically suspected as sarcoma vs GIST, which was surgically excised and pathologically examined revealing a rare condition of intra-abdominal unicentric Castleman's Disease with good prognosis. Castleman's Disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses, especially in equivocal cases.
