A Huge Mesenteric Chylous Cyst, Presenting as Abdominal Mass: A Rare Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Mesenteric cysts are rare abdominal lesions. A mesenteric chylous cyst is a very rare type of mesenteric cyst that may occur anywhere through the bowel, from the duodenum to the rectum. The etiology of mesenteric cysts is unknown and several theories have been suggested for forming these cysts. A mesenteric cyst is mostly found incidentally during investigations for another pathology. The treatment of choice for mesenteric chylous cysts in symptomatic patients is complete excision (enucleation) by either laparoscopic or open technique. The prognosis of a completely excised mesenteric cyst is generally good and its malignant transformation is reported to be around 3%. We present a case of mesenteric chylous cyst in a 60-year-old female presented with abdominal pain, constipation, nausea, and vomiting, who underwent laparotomy and complete cyst excision rate. The purpose of this case report is to consider mesenteric chylous cyst in the differential diagnosis of all abdominal masses.
