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

purposeManaging the defect after abdominal wall desmoid tumor resection is challenging due to the wide excision required. This report aims to review our institutional experience with mesh-reinforced reconstruction following desmoid tumor resection in the abdominal wall.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent abdominal wall desmoid tumor resection with mesh-reinforced reconstruction between April 2014 and January 2019. Patient records were analyzed to collect data on demographic characteristics, surgical procedures, and complications.

resultsSixteen eligible patients were identified, including one patient who underwent simultaneous resection of affected intra-abdominal organs. The mean size of the abdominal wall defect was 88.1 ± 71.6 cm², and the mean mesh size was 160.3 ± 56.5 cm². The mean operative time was 87.5 ± 41.4 min, the mean hospital stay was 15.7 ± 6.0 days, and the mean follow-up period was 83.8 ± 18.0 months. Complications included seroma (n = 1) and abnormal sensation (n = 2). Tumor recurrence was observed in 1 patient, who died due to cancer progression (lung cancer). No surgical site infections or mesh infections were observed. Additionally, no patients developed ventral hernias or abdominal bulging.

conclusionMesh-reinforced reconstruction is a feasible and effective approach for patients requiring abdominal wall desmoid tumor resection.
