Mesenteric Fibromatosis Presenting As Acute Abdominal Pain Mimicking a Perforated Viscus: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Mesenteric fibromatosis, formerly known as a desmoid tumor, is a rare tumor with aggressive local invasion. Most of these tumors present as painless, slow-growing masses, becoming symptomatic by means of mass effect as the tumor enlarges. Radiographic findings are nonspecific, and the diagnosis can only be established by histological evaluation. In this case report, we present a unique case of mesenteric fibromatosis in a 70-year-old male who presented for acute abdominal pain with image findings of a localized fluid collection between loops of small bowel. This unexpected presentation of mesenteric fibromatosis masquerading as a perforated viscus is surgically significant, and by documenting this case, we hope to add to the literature on this already challenging and rare pathology.
