Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor after breast prosthesis: A case report and literature review.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundInflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are defined as tumors composed of differentiated myofibroblastic spindle cells, usually accompanied by numerous plasma cells and lymphocytes, and classified as intermediate (occasionally metastatic) by the World Health Organization. Its pathogenesis and biological behavior have not yet been elucidated. Breast IMT is extremely rare, and prosthesis implantation combined with IMT has not been reported. This study reports a case of IMT following resection of a malignant phyllodes tumor of the left breast and implantation of a prosthesis. CASE SUMMARY: A 41-year-old female presented to our hospital with a mass in the left breast for 3 mo. The patient had undergone resection of a large mass in her left breast pathologically diagnosed as a malignant phyllodes tumor and implantation of a prosthesis five years prior. Ultrasonic examination revealed an oval mass in the left breast, and the patient underwent left breast mass resection and prosthesis removal. Light microscopy revealed the spindle cells to be diffusely proliferated, with a large number of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and plasma cell infiltration. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the spindle cells were partially positive for smooth muscle actin, which is positive for BCL-2 and cluster of differentiation (CD) 99 but were negative for anaplastic lymphoma kinase, cytokeratin, S-100 protein, desmin, and CD34. The final diagnosis was IMT. No recurrence or metastasis was observed during the 5-year postoperative follow-up.
conclusionProsthesis implantation may be one of the causes of IMT, but further investigation is necessary to prove it.
