Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of the breast with simultaneous intracranial, lung, and pancreas involvement: ultrasonographic findings and a review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
We encountered a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the breast with simultaneous intracranial, lung, and pancreas involvement. Here, we present the clinical imaging results and report the significance of sonographic findings of breast IMT along with a review of the literature. A 16-year-old girl with a history of subarachnoidal hemorrhage was admitted to our hospital due to tonic-clonic seizure. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple intracranial, lung, and pancreas mass lesions and a solitary mass lesion in the right breast. Breast ultrasonography showed a circumscribed oval-shaped hypoechoic mass with a central hyperechoic region. Power Doppler sonography revealed an unusual spiral-shaped flow signal. Breast tumorectomy was performed for definitive diagnosis, and pathological analysis indicated IMT. A literature review indicated that ultrasonographic findings of IMT of the breast are nonspecific, as in other systems or organs. It would be difficult to make a diagnosis of IMT of the breast preoperatively due to its rarity and the lack of specificity of clinical imaging findings. In addition, it is better to consider the possibility of IMT of the breast especially in younger patients without an obvious family history of hereditary breast cancer.
