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

A case of a Nuck canal cyst (NCC) associated with vestigial endometriosis is presented. An ultrasound scan revealed a multicystic sac in the right groin of a 42-year-old woman who had experienced inguinal discomfort for over 5 years. A Marcy repair was performed on the inguinal lesion based on the clinical diagnosis of an inguinal hernia. The resected multicystic blind tube had a small protruding nodule on the cyst wall. Although this nodule was initially thought to be granulation tissue, detailed high-power histological examination revealed severely degenerated residual glands that could not be characterised further using haematoxylin and eosin staining. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the glandular epithelial cells were oestrogen receptor positive, while the background stromal cells were CD10 positive. A diagnosis of NCC with endometriosis was made. A review of the relevant literature concerning the complication of the NCC and the usefulness of immunohistochemical staining is also included.
