Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the liver due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in an immunocompetent girl.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The case of a 9-year-old girl with a Mycobacterium tuberculosis inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the left lobe of the liver is reported. The tumor was surgically excised and had histological features diagnostic of IMT, a positive Ziehl-Nielsen staining for acid-fast bacilli and a positive polymerase chain reaction for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Surgical excision of the tumor followed by anti-tuberculosis treatment for 9 months resulted in full recovery. The patient had no apparent immune disorder, and there was no evidence of extrahepatic tuberculosis. These findings make this case exceptional because IMTs, due mostly to atypical mycobacteria, have been described only in immunocompromised patients.
