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 fibromatosis is a rare, benign, locally aggressive fibroblastic proliferation that may occur in almost any anatomical location. Due to its rarity and unpredictable clinical course, there has not been a standard guideline of treatment. We encountered a case of desmoid fibromatosis in our centre. A young lady previously fit and well was referred for a symptomatic, rapidly growing left sided abdominal mass. Otherwise, she denied any bowel related symptoms or constitutional manifestation. Imaging demonstrated a large well-defined lobulated solid-cystic mass extending from vertebral level T10 to L5, measuring 10.5 cm × 15 cm × 23 cm. The mass was in close proximity with the left adrenal gland, left kidney, pancreas and spleen. Ultrasound guided biopsy interpreted it as a fibroblastic or myelofibroblastic tumour, favouring desmoid fibromatosis. Surgery was then performed where the mass was removed along with the left adrenal gland and kidney. Post-operative care was complicated with pulmonary embolism, hospital-acquired pneumonia and pancreatitis.
