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 and importanceAbdominal wall desmoid tumors are rare within itself, and its concurrence with uterine sub-serosal fibroid and management in a single setting is not reported. The incidence of desmoid tumors is 2-5 cases per million. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old normally menstruating woman presented with insidious onset, dull aching abdominal pain for two and a half months. A bulge was seen, and a mass of 31 × 38 cm with an irregular margin and firm consistency was found on palpation. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a heterogenous lesion measuring 23.2 × 22.5 × 8.5 cm in the anterior abdominal wall with fat stranding and a well-defined hypodense lesion in the left side of the uterus measuring 7.29 × 5.6 × 4.8 cm. Laparotomy and excision of abdominal wall mass with myomectomy and bilateral salpingectomy were performed. DISCUSSION: Desmoid tumors (DT) are rare tumors comprising 0.03 % of all neoplasms and 3 % of all soft tissue tumors. Clinical manifestation of DT includes a painless plaque or firm lump and may be associated with pressure symptoms. Fibroids may also cause pressure symptoms or present as a symptomless mass, making the diagnosis confusing. Surgery is the definite treatment, but recurrence may occur.

conclusionCombined efforts between surgeons and gynecologists are required if concurrence of abdominal wall tumors occur along with fibroids.
