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

Splenic cysts are differentiated into primary and secondary cysts based on epithelial lining. Primary non-parasitic epithelial splenic cysts are extremely rare. We report a case of a 24-year-old male with left hypochondrial swelling with no history of abdominal trauma. His hydatid serology was negative. A CT scan showed massive splenomegaly due to a large, relatively thin-walled cystic lesion with possible thin internal septation near the lower pole of the spleen. The entire cyst and its intact wall were excised laparoscopically. The cyst's nature and eventual laparoscopic removal, with its parenchyma preserved, make this a unique case.
