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

Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign cystic lesions typically observed in women of reproductive age with prior pelvic surgery, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. To date, no cases of PICs have been reported in transgender men in South Korea. We present the case of a 28-year-old transgender man who developed a large PIC 1.5 years after undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy as part of gender-affirming surgery. Ultrasound images revealed a progressively enlarging pelvic cyst, and magnetic resonance imaging findings suggested possible connection to bladder. Laparoscopic exploration identified a large, serous, fluid-filled cyst with adhesions, which was successfully excised. Histopathological examination confirmed PIC. The postoperative course was uneventful, with complete symptom resolution and no recurrence at six months. This case underscores the importance of including PIC in the differential diagnosis of pelvic masses in transgender men with a history of pelvic surgery and highlights the need for inclusive, gender-affirming care.
