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

objectiveWe present a rare case of primary retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma, highlighting its clinical, imaging, and histological parameters. CASE REPORT: A 54-year-old patient presented with chronic abdominal pain that had been experienced for the past six months. No notable findings were identified in the patient's medical history, clinical examination, or laboratory tests. Full imaging was performed using magnetic resonance imaging and abdominal computed tomography (CT). A mass was found in the retroperitoneal area, located posterior to the stomach and close to the splenic portal, the left lobe of the liver, and the left hemidiaphragm. CT-guided fine-needle aspiration confirmed the presence of a benign tumor, which was surgically excised. Histological and immunohistochemical investigations confirmed the presence of a retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma with extrahepatic tissue.

conclusionPrimary retroperitoneal cavernous hemangiomas are rare retroperitoneal tumors with nonspecific clinical and radiological characteristics, making diagnosis difficult. This case demonstrates the occurrence of extrahepatic tissue involvement, a feature that has been reported only exceptionally in the literature. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for symptomatic patients with a favorable prognosis, and histological examination of the surgical specimen confirms the diagnosis.
