Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the central nervous system: A case report.
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 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
backgroundAn inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) occurring in the central nervous system is very rare, and thus its pathogenesis is unknown. This case report and literature review aimed to explore the pathogenesis, clinical features, imaging findings, pathological characteristics, immunohistochemical characteristics, diagnoses, treatments, and risks of postoperative recurrence of IMT in the central nervous system. CASE SUMMARY: A 67-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with an exophthalmic protrusion and double vision in the left eye that had persisted for 3 mo. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 2.4 cm × 1.3 cm heterogeneous large mass in the bottom of the left anterior cranial fossa, which was closely related to the dura mater. Before surgery, we suspected the mass to be meningioma. The entire mass was successfully removed under neuronavigation and electrophysiological monitoring, and postoperative pathology indicated an IMT with extensive infiltration of chronic inflammatory cells and scattered multinucleated giant cells. Head MRI at the 3-mo follow-up showed that the tumor at the bottom of left anterior cranial fossa had been completely resected without recurrence.
conclusionFrom the histological, immunohistochemical, and genetic analyses, the present case suggests that the pathogenesis of IMT-CNS is related to autoimmunity.
