Child Abdominal Distension Due to a Massive Retroperitoneal Lymphangioma: A Cyto-Histopathological and Clinical Correlation.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 tumors that result from lymphatic vessel malformations and/or obstructions commonly on the neck and armpits, being rare in the retroperitoneal space. We report a case of a healthy 25-month-old male with a six-month history of abdominal distension and recurrent episodes of diarrhea who was clinically diagnosed with giardiasis. The complementary evaluation showed a cystic formation occupying the whole abdominal cavity and implanted at the abdominal retroactivity. The patient underwent videolaparoscopic surgery. At histopathological and histochemical examinations, the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma was stated. The report presents a rare case of retroperitoneal lymphangioma, a condition that is frequently misdiagnosed due to its rarity.
