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

Granular cell tumors are uncommon soft tissue neoplasms derived from Schwann cells. It is extremely rare for granular cell tumors to be found in the anterior abdominal wall, with only 12 cases of benign abdominal wall granular cell tumors reported in the medical literature to date. We report a case of an upper abdominal wall granular cell tumor in a recently postpartum 35-year-old woman. Based on the patient's history, recent postpartum presentation, and imaging findings, the soft tissue tumor was initially suspected to be a desmoid tumor. Therefore, following biopsy and resection, the final histopathological diagnosis of benign granular cell tumor was quite unusual. Herein, we discuss a unique presentation of benign granular cell tumor and its diagnostic workup, including imaging and histopathologic findings, to highlight the possibility of this rare entity in the differential diagnosis of certain abdominal wall soft tissue masses.
