Laparoscopic Excision of a Giant Parietal Peritoneal Lipoma: 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lipomas are benign tumours derived from adipocytes, commonly found across the body, especially on the trunk and limbs. Although typically small, rare cases involve giant lipomas larger than 10 cm, often causing clinical symptoms. We report a case of a giant parietal peritoneal lipoma in a 45-year-old obese woman presenting with right upper abdominal pain. Imaging revealed a large, well-defined fatty mass in the abdominal wall, which was surgically excised laparoscopically. The specimen measured 18x14 cm and weighed 984 gm, with histology confirming a benign lipoma. The procedure was uncomplicated, with the patient discharged on day five and no recurrence over two years of follow-up. Only seven similar giant abdominal wall lipomas have been documented, with just one treated laparoscopically before. This case highlights the effectiveness and minimally invasive benefits of laparoscopic excision for large abdominal wall lipomas, which are rare but can present with symptoms mimicking other conditions.
