A rare case report of a typical variant ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT), located in the retroauricular perimastoid region.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionOssifying fibromixoid tumor of soft parts (OFMT) is a rare soft tissue and bone tumor. In its classic form, is considered benign, nevertheless aggressive clinical behaviour tumors with a different cytoarchitectural features of a malignant variant, have been described.The classification contains "typical", "atypical" and "malignant" variants.
methodsA CT ear scan without contrast enhancement was carried out (October 2015), with coronal, sagittal and 3D reconstructions. It was decided the removal of the neoformation with a simple dissection.
resultsIn this report, we present a case of a typical variant OFMT localized in the retroauricular perimastoid region, with mastoid bone cortex not involved.
conclusionsConsidering the extreme rarity of this "enigmatic" tumor which displays an uncertain line of differentiation, renders the differential diagnosis a true challenge.
