Mediastinal extension of pancreatic pseudocyst through the esophagus hiatus: A case report.
Article in Radiology 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
Pancreatic pseudocysts have a high amylase concentration and are surrounded by a fibrous capsule without a true epithelial lining. They are most frequently located in the peripancreatic region, and rarely extend into the mediastinum. We report a case of a 46-year-old male patient with a history of pancreatitis due to eat and drink too much presented with nausea and vomiting, MRI of the abdominal demonstrated a cystic mass connecting the abdominal cavity to posterior mediastinum and compressing the heart and stomach, ultrasound-guided aspiration of the cystic mass revealed high levels of amylase, conffrming that the mass was a rare pancreatic pseudocyst extending into the mediastinum. He was admitted for expectant management and was successfully treated with cystojejunostomy. This case aims to illustrate the possibility of rare pancreatic pseudocysts when a cystic mass is found that penetrates the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
