An Update on Clinicopathological, Imaging and Genetic Features of Desmoplastic Fibroblastoma (Collagenous Fibroma).
Review in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Desmoplastic fibroblastoma (also known as collagenous fibroma) is an uncommon benign fibroblastic/myofibroblastic neoplasm that primarily arises in the subcutaneous tissue of upper extremity. Magnetic resonance imaging reveals a well-defined mass in intimate association with dense connective tissue and prominent low signal intensity on all pulse sequences. Peripheral and septal enhancement is usually seen after intravenous contrast. Histologically, the lesion is paucicellular and consists of spindle to stellate-shaped cells embedded in a collagenous or myxocollagenous stroma with low vascularity. Diffuse and strong nuclear immunoreactivity for FOS-like antigen 1 seems to be characteristic of desmoplastic fibroblastoma. Cytogenetic studies have demonstrated the presence of 11q12 rearrangements and an identical t(2;11)(q31;q12) translocation. This review provides an updated overview of the clinical, radiological, histological, cytogenetic and molecular genetic features of desmoplastic fibroblastoma and discusses the relationship to fibroma of tendon sheath.
