Tumor or Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Reaction in an Adolescent With an Abdominal Lymphatic Malformation?
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report the case of a 17-year-old male who presented with intractable nausea and vomiting. Cross-sectional imaging revealed a large retrogastric abdominal mass. Fine needle aspiration done via endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was nondiagnostic. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a large inflammatory mass densely adherent to the stomach and retroperitoneum. Incisional biopsy frozen section revealed spindle cells, and subsequent resection of the mass with en-bloc subtotal gastrectomy with Roux-en-y gastrojejunostomy reconstruction was performed. Final pathology demonstrated a lymphatic malformation with reactive myofibroblastic proliferation. Inflammatory abdominal lymphatic malformations are especially rare and not well described in the literature. These masses may present diagnostic challenges until the specimen is sent for pathologic analysis.
