Gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in a 10-month-old girl: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. 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
introductionInflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumors (IMTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors of unclear etiology and uncertain malignant potential that affect all age groups. IMTs are most often found in the lungs; although they do occur in a variety of other organs. IMTs have been reported in the mesentery, head and neck, omentum, retroperitoneum, limbs, genitourinary tract, and, extremely rarely, in the stomach. There is scant epidemiological data on IMTs, in part, due to the absence of national and international registries. PRESENTATION OF CASE: This is a case report of a 10-month-old girl who presented with clinical signs of fever and weight loss over a period of four months. The patient was initially diagnosed with a febrile syndrome of unknown origin. However, upon further investigation, a Gastric IMT was found, and the patient required a left hepatectomy and subtotal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction.
conclusionIn the pediatric population clinical findings are often nonspecific. Based on this case study, we conclude that, in children with palpable masses, IMT should always be considered as a diagnostic option.
