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

Bartholin gland cysts are exceedingly rare in neonates and infants, with only four cases previously documented in the literature. We present the fifth reported case of a Bartholin gland abscess in a neonate. A term newborn presented with a 1-cm vaginal mass identified shortly after birth. An ultrasound of the mass was obtained and reported testicular-like tissue and the absence of a uterus, prompting an evaluation for disorders of sex development. Laboratory testing and karyotype were normal, and pediatric urology ultimately diagnosed and drained a Bartholin gland abscess, resulting in the resolution of the mass. This case highlights the importance of considering Bartholin gland cysts even in very young patients and emphasizes the need for careful interpretation of neonatal imaging, as misreading can lead to extensive diagnostic evaluations for a benign condition.
