Fibromatosis Colli on Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS): A Case Report.
Article in POCUS journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fibromatosis colli is a rare benign fibrosis of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle which manifests clinically as congenital muscular torticollis, or an ipsilateral head tilt with contralateral turning of the neck. Though benign, care must be taken not to miss other etiologies with similar clinical presentations, such as malignancies or abscesses. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) offers a rapid, low-cost, and accessible option for adjunct imaging. In this case report, a 26-day-old boy presented to the pediatric emergency department for evaluation of a nontender, firm left-sided neck mass with preferential turning of his head to the right. POCUS showed a noncompressible, homogenous, well-defined mass in the left SCM without increased vascularity consistent with fibromatosis colli. The patient was discharged from the emergency department with outpatient follow-up. His follow-up course required no further imaging or testing, and the patient's symptoms resolved with physical therapy.
