Occurrence of a desmoid tumour in a status post appendicectomy: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introduction and importanceTumours arising from previous sites of appendicectomy are a rare phenomenon. There have been few documented cases in literature but for the most part, it is a rare occurrence that needs further investigation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-year-old male presented to our outpatient with a large mass in his right upper abdomen for 2 months and a history of an appendicectomy done in an outside hospital 4 years prior. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: After regular investigations, the tumour was resected with adequate margins. On immunohistochemistry, the specimen was said to be of a desmoid fibromatosis. The exact aetiology of the disease cannot be determined unless we get a thorough analysis of the appendix specimen.
conclusionThis paves the way to the learning curve, which is that we must ensure proper patient follow-ups with relevant histopathological reports to ensure complete and comprehensive care to the patient.
