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

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystic tumors (PRMCT) are divided into 3 groups: benign, borderline malignancy, and malignant. We report a rare case of benign retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma of a 59-year-old Caucasian female who presented to our clinic with moderate intermittent left upper quadrant abdominal pain for several months, accompanied by early satiety, and unintentional weight loss of 10 pounds. An abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan indicated the presence of a 6.5 × 8.8 cm multilobulated mass in the left upper quadrant, characterized by a homogenous appearance with smooth margins. Upper endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspiration were performed. Cytology and histology results yielded rare inflammatory cells and debris with no cytological evidence of malignancy. The case was discussed at the hepatopancreatobiliary conference; the patient underwent a robotic resection of the mass with a gastric rim. Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenomas are commonly managed by complete surgical excision. Robotic excision presents an alternative approach for handling this uncommon neoplastic lesion.
