Desmoid Tumor as an Initial Presentation of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis: A Review of the Literature.
Review in Cureus, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Desmoid tumors (DTs) are rare soft tissue neoplasms, especially when originating from the small bowel. An association with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) of the colon has been well documented. Within the FAP population, there is a strong correlation between prophylactic procto-colectomy and subsequent development of DTs. Very few reports describe cases of FAP initially presenting with desmoid-related complications. Therefore, we underwent a review of the literature in order to delineate the characteristics of desmoid tumors occurring as an initial presentation of FAP.
