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

Ganglioneuromas of the retroperitoneum are rare cases of benign retroperitoneal tumors that arise from autonomic nerve fibers. Typically remaining asymptomatic even after growing very large, retroperitoneal ganglioneuromas are often discovered incidentally. Given the rather nonspecific, well-defined, smooth, or lobulated characteristics similar to most neurogenic tumors, retroperitoneal ganglioneuromas are sometimes difficult to diagnose. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment option intended to limit the chance of recurrence or malignant transformation; however, surgery can be restricted by local extension, such as encasement of blood vessels. In this article, we report the case of a 49-year-old female diagnosed with a retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma presenting as abdominal pain and fullness. We focus on the use of radiological imaging modalities to coordinate with surgical pathology for an optimized diagnosis and treatment plan.
