Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of the colon: 2 case reports and a comprehensive review of the literature.
Review in International journal of colorectal disease, 2020. 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, 13 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
purposeInflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT), which is also named as plasma cell granuloma (PCG) or inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT), is a rare tumour which rarely develops in the colorectal region. We aimed to review all reported cases to draw attention about this rare tumour.
methodsWe present two new cases of colonic IMT with no recurrence during the follow-up period. We also reviewed previously reported colorectal IMT/IPT/PCG patients to investigate demographics, diagnosis and treatment modalities.
resultsA total of 60 patients which including our 2 patients and 58 patients from 42 published articles were analysed. Male/female ratio was 34/26. Mean age was found to be 31.84 ± 22.26 years (9 months-82 years). Abdominal pain (56.7%) and fever (23.3%) were the most common complaints in the first admission. Fifty-nine (98.3%) out of 60 patients underwent surgery. During follow-up, 7 (14.3%) patients developed a local recurrence.
conclusionIMT may occur at any age. IMT is considered to be a borderline tumour with the potential for recurrence or distant metastasis. Complete resection of the tumour is recommended for treatment. Long-time follow-up is necessary due to recurrence potential of the tumour even many years after complete surgical resection.
trial registrationThe study follows the regulation of the Institutional Review Board for human research at Izmir Katip Celebi University Ataturk Training and Research Hospital. Written informed consents were obtained from the patients who participated in this study.
