Solitary infantile myofibromatosis in the upper extremities: Case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. 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
Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is a mesenchymal tumor that may present in infants in a couple of major forms: solitary (myofibroma) and multicentric (myofibromatosis) which can be more subdivided into IM without or with visceral involvement. The tumors present as nodular lesions in the soft tissues, bones, and/or internal organs. Although the success of imaging in suggesting the correct diagnosis can't be denied, histopathology and Immunohistochemical examinations are necessary to confirm the diagnosis of IM as it might be misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor. We report a case of solitary infantile myofibromatosis in the upper extremities discovered in a 9-year-old girl. She had swelling and an enlargement on the posterior forearm on the ulnar side. The X-ray showed a lytic lesion with swollen soft tissue. The patient underwent an MRI which suggested the diagnosis of myofibroma. Then, solitary myofibroma was confirmed histologically. Infancy's most prevalent fibrous tumor is IM. Its prognosis depends on the visceral involvement. Imaging, especially MRI is the ideal tool to diagnose it.
