Imaging features of mammary-type myofibroblastoma of soft tissue: a case series with literature review.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Mammary-type myofibroblastoma (MTM) is a rare, benign neoplasm that is histologically identical to myofibroblastoma of the breast, but occurring in an extramammary site. The masses have been reported in superficial and deep soft tissue sites and visceral locations with the inguinal area and lower extremities are the most common. Most previous reports of MTMs have concentrated on clinical and pathological findings, with very limited information regarding imaging characteristics. Here, we describe three cases of MTM diagnosed at our institution, with a focus on imaging findings. We compare our findings with previously reported cases. Although MTM is rare, radiologists should be aware of this benign diagnosis as imaging characteristics can mimic those of liposarcomas and atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma. Unlike those tumor types, MTM virtually never recurs post-resection, even when there are positive margins. Biopsy is necessary for proper diagnosis and recommended as an initial step to avoid overly aggressive treatment.
