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

Mesenteric Fibromatosis (MF) is a proliferative fibroblastic lesion of small intestinal mesentery. It constitutes 8% of all desmoid tumours, which represent 0.03% of all neoplasm. It is histologically benign but may invade locally and recur after excision. It occurs sporadically or in association with Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) mutation as a component of Gardner's syndrome. The presenting features of MF are asymptomatic abdominal mass, abdominal discomfort or pain, bowel or ureteral obstruction, intestinal perforation, fistula, functional impairment of ileoanal anastomosis following colectomy in FAP cases. A 29-year-old male presented with a swelling on the right side of the umbilicus for six months and dull aching pain for two months. Fine needle aspiration cytology, ultrasonography, contrast enhanced computerized tomography findings were inconclusive. After Exploratory laparotomy, a mass approx 6x5x4 cm in ileal mesentery was identified and excised along with 20cm of ileum. End to end anastomosis was done and specimen was sent for histopathology which confirmed the diagnosis of MF. Considering the rarity of this tumour and difficulties in diagnostic and therapeutic ambit, we believe it is justified to describe this case which came to our observation.
