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 of the hand is rare, with fewer than 20 cases reported in the literature. We present a 14-year-old girl with a right-hand desmoid tumor who sought non-radiation focal treatment after five prior surgical resections. The tumor overlaid the extensor compartment of her dorsal hand and caused pain and progressive hyperextension of the second and third fingers. She was initially evaluated for CT-guided cryoablation but was not a candidate due to limited visibility, and was therefore selected for MRI-guided cryoablation given its superior visualization of the iceball. She was safely treated four times over a five-year span, targeting areas of active pain and tumor growth during a period that included a concomitant pubertal growth spurt. MRI-guided cryoablation provided safe, effective, and durable local control for a recurrent pediatric hand desmoid tumor when further surgery and radiation were not desired, and it may offer a viable non-radiation alternative for select patients with extra-abdominal desmoid disease.
