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

Introduction: Desmoid tumors are rare, locally invasive, non-metastasizing intermediate grade neoplasms. According to the organ procurement and transplantation network report, approximately one million solid organ transplants have been performed globally, from which only three desmoid tumors have been reported. Case presentation: We present the case of a 61-year-old male who developed an asymptomatic abdominal mass 3 years after kidney transplantation. Computed tomography revealed a 50-mm mass attached to the Hem-o-lok clip beneath the right rectus abdominis muscle. A needle biopsy revealed β-catenin positivity, which raised suspicion for a desmoid tumor. Due to progressive tumor enlargement, surgical excision was performed. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 5 without any surgical complications. Conclusion: This is the first documented case of an extra-abdominal desmoid tumor after kidney transplantation. Although no recurrence has been observed over a 5-year follow-up period, careful long-term monitoring is required because of the high recurrence rate of desmoid tumors.
