Mammary-type myofibroblastoma of the perineum: Typical or rare location?
Article in IJU case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Mammary-type myofibroblastoma is a rare benign tumor, mainly arising along the embryonal mammary ridge. We report a rare case of mammary-type myofibroblastoma of the perineum. Case presentation: A 37-year-old Japanese man presented with a 20 mm, progressively-growing painless mass in the right perineum. Computed tomography showed a subcutaneous tumor with a strong contrast effect. Upon total resection, pathology showed a spindle-cell tumor positive for desmin but negative for CD34. Further immunohistochemistry showed loss of Rb expression, leading to differential diagnosis. We could not evaluate the exact rarity of the perineal location due to categorization in past reports. Conclusion: Due to the similarities between mammary and anogenital tissue, we suggest that tallying perineal and vulvar areas separately from the embryonic mammary ridge sites may be beneficial in gaining insight into the pathophysiology of this tumor.
