Giant Mesenteric Cyst in a Young Adult Mimicking Refractory Ascites: A Diagnostic and Surgical Challenge-A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in gastrointestinal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 benign intra-abdominal tumors that are usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally while being investigated for other conditions or their complications. Surgical excision remains the primary treatment option. Here we present the case of a 30-year-old male with progressive abdominal distension, initially misdiagnosed with liver disease and refractory ascites, leading to inappropriate diuretic therapy. Subsequent imaging revealed a giant mesenteric cyst, which was successfully managed with complete surgical excision.
