Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp of the Esophagus: A Report of a Rare Clinical Case.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
An inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a benign, non-metastasizing tumor that can arise throughout the gastrointestinal tract, with the esophagus being an extremely rare location. We present a case of a 43-year-old male patient referred to our department following the detection of an esophageal mass during the investigation of an episode of anemia-induced loss of consciousness. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a 3 cm distal esophageal mass protruding through the lower esophageal sphincter into the lesser curvature of the stomach. Resection of this mass was performed through an Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy, and pathological examination confirmed an IFP of the lower esophagus. The patient made an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the seventh postoperative day. This case highlights the importance of considering IFPs in the differential diagnosis of esophageal lesions and the need for individualized treatment based on patient characteristics and surgeon experience.
