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

Hepatic duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations resulting in cystic structures within the liver. These lesions are typically diagnosed in pediatric patients and are often asymptomatic. We present the case of a 75-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency department with diffuse abdominal pain. Examination revealed a palpable abdominal mass. Imaging included a CT scan of the abdomen, which revealed multiple hepatic duplication cysts and bilateral renal cysts. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing rare pathologies such as hepatic duplication cysts, particularly in adult patients. This rare case of co-occurring hepatic duplication cysts and renal cysts may enhance understanding of the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of hepatic duplication cysts.
