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

backgroundMüllerian duct cyst (MDC) is an uncommon congenital lesion arising from incomplete regression of the paramesonephric duct. It typically presents as a midline pelvic cystic lesion and is often asymptomatic, making preoperative diagnosis challenging. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 37-year-old woman who was admitted in 2024 for evaluation of an incidentally discovered pelvic cystic lesion. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a well-circumscribed, non-enhancing posterior pelvic cystic lesion. Laparoscopic resection of the cyst was performed, and intraoperatively, dense adhesions were noted between the cyst, the posterior uterine wall, and the posterior peritoneum. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of MDC and revealed coexisting endometriosis in the adherent posterior peritoneum.

conclusionsThis case highlights the importance of considering MDC in the differential diagnosis of pelvic cystic lesions in women, as well as the potential coexistence of endometriosis.
