Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the urinary bladder: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare lesion, particularly in the urinary bladder. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor mainly affects children and young adults. It is unknown neoplastic potential, characterized by spindle cell proliferation with characteristic fibroinflammatory and pseudo-sarcomatous appearance. We describe a 36-year-old Moroccan man, who presented with hematuria the last week. The cystoscopy found a large bladder mass with necrotic-looking floating lesions, located in the trigonal area and left lateral wall on the dome of the urinary bladder. The patient underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-BT). The histopathology and immunohistochemistry showed an IMT. No evidence of regrowth or residual tumor in 9 months of follow-up cystoscopy. In conclusion, even though, urinary bladder IMT is a rare occurrence, it is associated with a good prognosis. Histopathology investigation and immunohistochemistry analysis are essential to confirm the diagnosis. Complete TUR-BT is the treatment of choice.
