Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor: An Updated Review.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 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
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare neoplasm that is characterized by a proliferation of myofibroblastic and fibroblastic spindle cells, accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate that is abundant in plasma cells, lymphocytes, and eosinophils. IMT can arise in various anatomical locations but most commonly occurs in the abdominal cavity, retroperitoneum, and lung, particularly in children and young adults. IMT typically demonstrates local invasion or recurrence, whereas metastasis is rare. IMTs pose a diagnostic challenge because of their overlapping morphological characteristics with a heterogeneous group of nonneoplastic and neoplastic lesions. Precise diagnosis is crucial for optimal management and accurate prognostication. Despite recent advancements in IMT diagnosis and treatment, its biological complexity and clinical management remain challenging due to significant histological heterogeneity and molecular genetic diversity. This review provides comprehensive updates on the clinical, molecular, and pathological characteristics of IMT, highlighting the diagnostic approaches and key differential diagnoses.
