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

Primary splenic epidermoid cysts are extremely rare and typically discovered incidentally. The symptoms are variable, from an asymptomatic abdominal mass to severe abdominal pain. It is difficult to diagnose a primary splenic epidermoid cyst using imaging tests preoperatively, as it can appear similar to other cyst types. We report a 23-year-old woman who presented with left-sided abdominal pain. An advanced computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an 18 × 15 × 12 cm complicated splenic cyst, which was ultimately treated with a laparoscopic splenectomy, and the patient achieved a full recovery.
