Mesenteric cyst: an unusual cause of recurrent abdominal pain in a child.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
Mesenteric cysts are a rare cause of intra-abdominal swellings in the paediatric age group. They are benign lesions with non-specific presentations ranging from incidental findings to features of an acute abdomen. The rarity of the condition and the non-specificity of its symptoms underscore the importance of adequate knowledge for prompt diagnosis and appropriate management. Here we present a 5-year-old preschooler from the Southeastern part of Nigeria with recurring abdominal pain of 3 years' duration. She was initially managed for symptomatic umbilical hernia and underwent herniorrhaphy. However, due to the persistence of her symptom, she was referred to the Paediatric Surgery Unit of the Teaching Hospital. Physical examination revealed a freely mobile soft mass in the right lumbar region, subsequently confirmed on imaging studies. She eventually had complete excision of the mass with a segmental jejunal resection and jejunojejunal anastomosis. The child is currently being followed up and has no evidence of recurrence.
