Epstein-Barr virus-associated inflammatory pseudotumor presenting as a colonic mass.
Article in Human pathology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) commonly involves spleen and liver and has only rarely been reported in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The spindle cells may express myofibroblastic or follicular dendritic cell markers. We report a challenging case of EBV-positive IPT arising in the ascending colon. The lesion was composed of spindle cells positive for smooth muscle actin but negative for all follicular dendritic cell markers tested and was associated with an exuberant lymphoid proliferation containing reactive follicles, abundant plasma cells, and small lymphocytes. We further discuss pitfalls for possible misdiagnosis as ALK-positive inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, IgG4-related disease, and peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Our case represents the first EBV-positive inflammatory pseudotumor of the GI tract in the Western literature. Awareness of this rare entity in GI tract is essential for correct diagnosis and appropriate patient management.
