Comprehensive Analysis of Pediatric Mesenteric Cysts with Clinical Presentation, Diagnostic Challenges, Surgical Management, and Outcome.

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
Background: Mesenteric cysts are rare, benign abdominal tumors that pose diagnostic challenges due to their nonspecific symptoms. Their etiology is diverse, with congenital, lymphatic, and inflammatory origins proposed. Clinical presentation often includes abdominal pain, mass, or incidental findings. Management primarily involves surgical resection, yet the optimal approach and long-term outcomes remain unclear. This study aims to comprehensively characterize the clinical spectrum, diagnostic accuracy, therapeutic strategies, and prognostic factors associated with mesenteric cysts. Materials and Methods: The authors retrospectively analyzed prospectively maintained data on cystic abdominal masses managed between 2014 and 2024. They analyzed the clinical parameters, demographics, presentations, investigations, management, and outcomes. Results: The authors managed 28 cases of cystic abdominal masses between 2014 and 2024. The median age of presentation was 36 months (range 2 days-9 years), with 16 males and 12 females. The most common presenting symptom was abdominal pain ( Conclusion: This article highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies employed in a patient with cystic abdominal masses. Despite challenges in locating the site of origin of these cysts, timely intervention with radiology and surgery led to a favorable outcome.
