Giant Mesenteric Cyst: A Case Series.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
Introduction: Mesenteric cysts are rare benign intra-abdominal lesions that can present with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. They are most commonly located within the mesentery of the small intestine and are less frequently found in the mesocolon. Because their clinical presentation varies according to the size and location of the cyst, symptoms are often nonspecific, making diagnosis challenging. Case Presentation: We report two pediatric cases of mesenteric cysts. The first case involved a 10-month-old male infant who presented with abdominal distension and intermittent non-bilious vomiting. The second case involved a 5-year-old boy who presented with severe abdominal distension caused by a large intra-abdominal mass and was subsequently referred to the Pediatric Surgery Department. Following clinical evaluation and preoperative investigations, both patients were diagnosed with mesenteric cysts and underwent surgical excision. The resected cysts were submitted for histopathological examination, which confirmed the diagnosis. Both patients had an uneventful postoperative recovery, with no complications or recurrence observed during follow-up. Clinical Discussion: Mesenteric cysts are exceedingly rare, with an estimated incidence of approximately 1 per 250,000 hospital admissions. They may occur at any age but are uncommon in children. Most mesenteric cysts remain asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally during radiological investigations or surgical procedures. Clinical symptoms typically develop when the cyst enlarges sufficiently to cause compression of adjacent structures, resulting in abdominal distension, pain, vomiting, or intestinal obstruction. Conclusion: We present two pediatric cases of mesenteric cysts to highlight the importance of considering this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses and distension in children. Early diagnosis and complete surgical excision remain the cornerstone of successful treatment and are associated with excellent outcomes.
