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

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is an uncommon form of chronic inflammation characterized by the accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages. While commonly observed in organs like the gallbladder and kidneys, xanthogranulomatous involvement of the peritoneum is exceedingly rare and poorly documented in the literature. We present an atypical presentation of rare xanthogranulomatous peritonitis as an abdominopelvic cystic mass mimicking ovarian malignancy. This case report aims to raise awareness regarding the inclusion of xanthogranulomatous peritonitis as a differential diagnosis in cases of abdominopelvic mass lesions where laboratory and imaging findings are not coherent.
