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

Desmoid tumours are deep aggressive fibromatoses that usually arise in the soft tissues of the limbs or the abdominal wall. Intra-abdominal localisation, rarely occurs and their treatment may be challenging. When necessary, surgery must be personalized to what is achievable in terms of margins while preserving functional outcomes. This condition is illustrated herein with the case of a 40-year-old female presenting an unusually large sporadic desmoid tumour with abdominal, pelvic and perineal involvement. Resection was performed without organ involvement through a combined perineal approach. Tumour resection was macroscopically completed except in the perineum, where the tumour was left (R2 resection) to preserve anal sphincter. Adjuvant treatment with tamoxifen was given to achieve local control. The hormonal treatment was well tolerated, and no recurrence was observed after 36 months of follow-up.
