Large intra-abdominal desmoid tumour posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, a case report.

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
We present the case of a 46-year-old gentleman originally from China who presented to the acute surgical assessment unit complaining of upper abdominal discomfort, dyspepsia and early satiety ongoing for the previous 6 months. On exam he had a palpable mass in the left upper quadrant. He underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy which was normal and later received a CT abdomen which identified a well-circumscribed soft tissue mass in the mesenteric fat and lying adjacent to the transverse colon with no obvious cleavage plane between them. Colonoscopy was then performed which was normal. After discussion at MDT he was taken for laparotomy. At laparotomy the mass was found to be adherent to major vessels, small bowel and large bowel necessitating an extended right hemicolectomy and small bowel resection. The mass itself could not be completely excised. Histology from the resected specimen confirmed desmoid tumour.
