Laparoscopic Excision of a Large Intra-abdominal Cystic Lymphangioma in a Six-Month-Old Infant.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lymphatic malformation is a rare vascular anomaly caused by abnormal lymphatic system development during embryogenesis. Intra-abdominal lymphatic malformations are uncommon in children, and surgical excision is considered the gold standard for treatment. However, few reports of minimally invasive laparoscopic approaches have been documented. This case report presents a six-month-old infant with a large intra-abdominal cystic lymphangioma, diagnosed prenatally and treated laparoscopically. The lesion was excised en bloc using low-impact laparoscopy, with an uneventful intraoperative and postoperative course. This case highlights the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic excision in young patients, even for large masses. Further studies are needed to establish the role of minimally invasive surgery in pediatric patients with large intra-abdominal lymphatic malformations.
