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
Biliary cystadenomas are benign cystic neoplasms of the liver with recognized malignant potential. They are frequently asymptomatic and are often discovered incidentally during imaging for unrelated complaints. Early identification and complete surgical excision are recommended to prevent malignant transformation. We report the case of a 47-year-old male who was incidentally found to have a large, complex hepatic cyst during evaluation for mild, non-specific abdominal discomfort. Cross-sectional imaging revealed an 8 × 9.4 × 9 cm multiloculated cystic lesion involving hepatic segments VII and VIII, without radiological features suggestive of malignancy. The patient underwent elective open anatomical resection of segments VII and VIII. Histopathological examination confirmed a benign biliary-type cystadenoma, with background liver parenchyma showing severe steatohepatitis involving more than 60% of hepatocytes. The postoperative course was uneventful. This case highlights the importance of definitive surgical management of large biliary cystadenomas, even in asymptomatic patients, and underscores the added clinical considerations when significant hepatic steatosis is present.
