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

Ganglioneuromas are a rare, benign mass, with fewer than 20 cases reported to date with an estimated incidence of 1/40,000. These masses are less frequently found in the sacral region. Although typically benign, these masses can present with discomfort, including abdominal pain, back and pelvic pain, and in some instances, may progress to malignant transformation. Here, we present a rare presentation of a sacral ganglioneuroma in a young female presenting with abdominal pain. We aim to emphasize the importance of multimodal imaging, as well as highlight imaging findings of this rare sacral mass.
