Mesenteric Lymphatic Malformation Complicated by Torsion: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mesenteric lymphatic malformations (MLM) are rare, benign cystic lesions that arise from an abnormal development of lymphatic tissue. They can be complicated by obstruction, volvulus, and the rare occurrence of torsion. We report the case of a 33-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain, initially suspected to be appendicitis. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a heterogeneous mass in the right lower abdominal quadrant over the jejunum mesentery with imaging signs of torsion, suggestive of a lymphatic malformation. Surgical resection and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. Although more frequent in pediatric patients, these entities can present in adults with varied manifestations. Imaging is crucial for diagnosing and guiding surgical resection, especially in complicated cases. This case highlights mesenteric lymphatic malformations in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain and the need to assess for complications carefully.
