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
introductionMesothelioma arises from mesothelial cells. This tumor is very rare among pediatric abdominal neoplasms. We herein report an extremely rare case of acute abdomen with cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum in a child. CASE PRESENTATION: A 14-year-old boy was referred to our hospital for emergency surgery. Surgery revealed a primary tumor arising from the greater omentum. The tumor was macroscopically diagnosed as a benign omental lymphangioma and was resected en bloc with the greater omentum. A histopathological examination of the tumor revealed a simple columnar epithelium-like mesothelioma with poor cell-atypia. Immunohistochemical examination showed antibody reactivity in the cyst epithelium, including an anti-calretinin antibody. The final pathological diagnosis was a mesothelioma originating from the peritoneum.
conclusionsIn pediatric cases diagnosed with cystic lymphatic malformation, the possibility of peritoneal mesothelioma needs to be considered and carefully confirmed or ruled out.
