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

Abdominopelvic neurofibromas are very uncommon presentations, with only 60 reported cases in literature. We report a sporadic giant abdominopelvic neurofibroma in a 29-year-old male presenting with progressive abdominal distension, urinary frequency, and constipation. Imaging revealed a large heterogeneously enhancing pelvic mass compressing the rectum and urinary bladder, causing bilateral hydroureteronephrosis. Exploratory laparotomy with complete excision was performed successfully. Histopathology confirmed the mass as a neurofibroma. The postoperative course was uneventful, with no recurrence at 6-month follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of sporadic pelvic neurofibromas and emphasizes the importance of imaging, histopathological evaluation, and complete surgical excision.
