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

Diaphragmatic fibromatosis is an exceptionally rare condition, with only 2 previously reported cases in the literature. We present the case of a 23-year-old woman with a left hypochondrial swelling measuring 19×18×13 cm on computed tomography. An endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy indicated low-grade papillary proliferation. Surgical exploration revealed a large mass originating from the left hemidiaphragm. Complete excision of the mass and reconstruction of the diaphragm with double-layer mesh were performed. Microscopic examination of the mass revealed a bland-looking spindle cell proliferation. Immunohistochemical staining showed a positive nuclear reaction in tumor cells for β-catenin, a focal positive reaction for SMA, and negative reactions for S100, CD34, and desmin. Diaphragmatic fibromatosis is an extremely rare tumor for which complete excision and reconstruction of the diaphragm is the best suggested modality of treatment.
