1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the urinary bladder is a rare soft tissue tumor characterized by spindle cell proliferation with inflammatory cell infiltration. We present a case of bladder IMT occurring in a 6-year-old boy. Pretreatment CT images depicted a polypoid and broad-based mass measuring 18 mm in the superior to the front wall of the bladder, and the mass showed isodensity on precontrast image and ring enhancement of the mass after the intravenous administration of contrast material. Pelvic MRI demonstrated the 18 × 17 × 16 mm broad-based mass, suggesting submucosal tumor in the dome of the bladder. The mass showed low-to-moderate signal intensity on T1-weighted images and slight high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and restricted diffusion with low signal intensity on ADC map and abnormal high signal intensity on DWI. Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor and partial cystectomy were undertaken, and the pathology revealed IMT of the bladder. We suggest its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of cases of a polypoid and broad-based mass on the superior wall or the front wall of the bladder with ring enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT and MRI.
