A rare case of retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma in adult: diagnostic and management challenges.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
Retroperitoneal ganglioneuromas (RGNs) are a rare form of neuroblastic tumour. Despite being benign they pose significant clinical challenges due to their non-specific symptoms, variable radiographic features and technically difficult resection. We present a case of RGN in a male in his early twenties, with a 4-year history of multiple symptoms including bone and joint pains in his chest, abdomen and right hip. Blood results were normal, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large mass close to L4/L5 nerve roots, overlying the right ureter and inferior vena cava. The mass was resected in a joint case with colorectal and neurosurgical teams and histopathology confirmed ganglioneuroma. This case report contributes valuable insight into the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and surgical management of RGN. We demonstrate the importance of considering this rare diagnosis in the work up of patients with non-specific symptoms and present considerations for surgical resection, advocating for a multidisciplinary approach.
