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

Ganglioneuroma (GN) is a rare benign tumor arising from sympathetic ganglion cells, often located in the retroperitoneum. We report a case of a 33-year-old woman presenting with intermittent low back pain for 2 months. Imaging revealed a large retroperitoneal mass (24 × 36 × 68 mm) encasing the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right renal vein, with a high suspicion for GN or lymphangioma. Surgical exploration via laparotomy confirmed a tough, adherent mass (5 × 8 × 10 cm) intimately associated with the IVC and renal vessels. Complete resection with vascular repair was performed. Pathology confirmed mature ganglion cells positive for SOX10 and S100, consistent with GN. The patient recovered uneventfully and remained well at 4-month follow-up.
