Case report: Large-size intramuscular nodular fasciitis, a challenging histopathologic diagnosis confirmed by molecular detection of USP6 gene rearrangement: Case report and literature review.
Review in Pathology oncology research : POR, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The intramuscular subtype of nodular fasciitis (NF) is rare with lesions normally not more than 2 cm in size and characterized by pseudosarcomatous morphology. We report a case of a 27-year-old man with a large-size intramuscular NF. The patient came for treatment complaining of an increasingly enlarged mass in the left upper arm for 4 months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the presence of a well-defined tumor measuring 5 cm within the outer edge of the middle humerus. Microscopically, the neoplasm was rich in fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in an interlaced pattern with high mitotic index and evident multinuclear giant cells. Erythrocyte extravasation was easily seen in the stroma. The tumor border was infiltrative. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for smooth muscle actin (SMA) and negative for cytokeratin, desmin, H-Caldesmon, CD34, S100, ALK, and
