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 bronchogenic cyst (BC) is a rare congenital bronchopulmonary malformation, typically found in the thoracic cavity and rarely found in the retroperitoneum. Due to its anatomical location, BCs are often misdiagnosed as adrenal or pancreatic solid tumors on radiological evaluation. The present study reports a case of an ectopic BC (EBC) in a patient who presented with left-sided lumbar pain and fever. Initial imaging suggested a cyst in the adrenal region, complicated by hemorrhage and infection. However, after posterior laparoscopic surgery, pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of an EBC. The present case report highlights the importance of considering BCs as a potential diagnosis in cystic hemorrhagic lesions located in the retroperitoneum, thereby preventing misdiagnosis and providing valuable insight for clinical management.
