Insights into inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: A complex and challenging diagnosis.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), also known as inflammatory pseudotumor or plasma cell granuloma, is an uncommon soft tissue tumor of mesenchymal origin with low to intermediate malignant potential. IMTs are most commonly located in the lung, abdomen/pelvis, or retroperitoneum, primarily affecting children and young adults. Although metastasis is rare, IMTs can recur after surgical resection, as oftentimes resection is limited due to infiltration with surrounding tissue. Here, we present a challenging case of IMT in a 22-year-old male who presented with chest pain and shortness of breath. Extensive diagnostic workup, including multiple biopsies and imaging studies, raised suspicion of malignancy, though initial biopsies failed to confirm a diagnosis. This case highlights the diagnostic difficulties and the importance of a coordinated approach in the diagnosis and management of IMT.
