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

Desmoid fibromatosis is a rare, benign but aggressive tumor of mesenchymal origin. Its main characteristic is local infiltration and a high likelihood of recurrence. Desmoid tumors can occur either sporadically or in a familial form (familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)). Depending on their location, they are classified as superficial or deep, such as masses in the abdominal wall, extra-abdominal, or intra-abdominal tumors. Rarely, they can be found in the axillary area. We describe a case of a 69-year-old female presenting with a mass in her left axilla that was biopsy-proven to be a desmoid tumor.
