Management of desmoid tumours: A large national database of familial adenomatous patients shows a link to colectomy modalities and low efficacy of medical treatments.

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
backgroundDesmoid tumours represent a major complication of familial adenomatous polyposis. Our aims were to study the factors associated with the development of desmoid tumours in familial adenomatous polyposis patients, and to describe presentation and management of desmoid tumours. METHODS AND PATIENTS: We reviewed all patients with familial adenomatous polyposis followed at our institution between 1965-2013, with either identified adenomatous polyposis coli gene mutation, or a personal and family history suggesting adenomatous polyposis coli-related polyposis. Response to treatment of desmoid tumours was assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumor (RECIST) criteria.
resultsA total of 180 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis were included with a median follow-up of 19 years since diagnosis. Thirty-one (17%) patients developed 58 desmoid tumours, a median (range) 4.7 (0.8-41.6) years after their diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis. The only factor significantly associated with occurrence of desmoid tumours was the type of surgery: 12 (12%) desmoid tumours in 104 patients treated by colectomy, versus 19 (25%) desmoid tumours in 76 patients treated by proctocolectomy,
conclusionIf confirmed, colectomy (versus proctocolectomy) should be performed in adenomatous polyposis coli-related familial adenomatous polyposis patients to avoid desmoid tumours. We show that there is a high prevalence of post-surgical recurrence and the low efficacy of available medical treatments for desmoid tumours.
