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

Retroperitoneal ganglioneuromas are rare, benign neural crest-derived tumors that typically occur in children and infrequently in adults. Their preoperative diagnosis is difficult due to nonspecific imaging findings, requiring histopathological confirmation. We report a 51-year-old man with an incidentally discovered retroperitoneal mass during evaluation for leukocytosis. Imaging showed a 7.8 × 4.5 × 8 cm lesion adjacent to the right kidney and duodenum. The tumor was completely excised through a robotic-assisted approach, and histopathology confirmed ganglioneuroma. This case emphasizes considering ganglioneuroma in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumors and demonstrates the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted excision for such lesions.
