Case Report: Efficacy of ensartinib treatment in pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor with a rare
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rare with distal metastasis. Approximately 50% of patients have anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion. Patients with non-small cell lung cancer with ALK fusion are usually highly sensitive to ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), but the application of TKI in IMT needs further exploration. Case presentation: A 66-year-old man was diagnosed with IMT with bone metastasis, cT4N0M1c, IVB stage. Immunohistochemistry results showed that he was ALK positive, and next-generation sequencing revealed Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first case of the
