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

Presacral tumors are uncommon lesions located between the rectum and sacrum; developmental cysts account for 50-75% of cases. Bilateral presacral tumors are exceedingly rare. A 32-year-old woman presented to the First People's Hospital of Xiaoshan District (Hangzhou, China) with abdominal pain. A digital rectal examination revealed a firm, fixed mass on the posterolateral rectal wall. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was employed, leading to the identification of bilateral presacral lesions. A complete excision was performed via a posterior sacral approach under general anesthesia. The patient recovered well; wound healing was found to be satisfactory, and no recurrence was observed at the 12-month follow-up. In conclusion, the current report presents a rare case of bilateral presacral epidermoid cysts. Precise preoperative characterization by MRI and careful surgical planning enabled successful resection. The case emphasizes the importance of tailored surgical strategies in the treatment of rare presacral lesions.
