Imaging findings of gastric plexiform fibromyxoma with a cystic change: A case report and review of literature.
Review in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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.
Who cites it
8 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 18 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
rationalePlexiform fibromyxoma (PF) is an extremely rare mesenchymal tumor of the stomach, and its radiological findings have not been well described. Here, we analyzed the imaging features of a case of PF. To our knowledge, this is a rare reported case with a remarkable cystic change in the imaging literature. PATIENT CONCERNS: A previously healthy 50-year-old woman presented with a 1-day history of abdominal pain. Then, she underwent computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A cystic-solid well-circumscribed extraluminal mass was located in the posterior wall of the gastric upper body. The solid portion appeared as heterogeneous attenuation/intensity with progressive enhancement while the cystic region had no enhancement. DIAGNOSES: The potential for malignancy could not be excluded.
interventionsLaparoscopic partial gastric resection was performed. OUTCOMES: Based on pathological findings, a diagnosis of PF was made. The patient was alive without any recurrence or metastasis of the tumor after 2 years of follow-up. LESSONS: As far as we know, a gastric PF with a remarkable cystic change has never been reported. Additionally, the tumor exhibited a progressive enhancement pattern which is a characteristic radiographic feature in our case. Our report may help increase the awareness of this rare but important new disease entity.
