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

introductionBenign peritoneal multicystic mesothelioma (BPMM) is a rare mesothelial tumor with a high local recurrence rate and potential for malignant transformation. It predominantly affects women of reproductive age and is often associated with prior abdominal surgery or inflammation. Complete surgical resection is the standard treatment; however, tumor recurrence remains a concern. BPMM occurring outside the pelvis is extremely rare, and lesions requiring colectomy because of adherence to the gastrointestinal tract are infrequent. CASE PRESENTATION: A 63-year-old woman presented with right lower abdominal pain. She had undergone cervical cancer surgery 20 years ago. Contrast-enhanced CT and MRI revealed multiple well-defined cystic lesions adjacent to the ascending colon. Colonoscopy revealed extrinsic compression, and

conclusionsA laparoscopic approach may be a feasible and safe option for complete resection of BPMM as it allows for magnified visualization and careful handling of cystic lesions, avoiding their intraoperative rupture. Given the high recurrence rate of BPMM, close postoperative surveillance is essential. This case illustrates the feasibility of laparoscopic resection for BPMM.
