A Mimicker of Malignancy: A Case Report on Elastofibroma Dorsi.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Elastofibroma dorsi is a soft tissue tumor rarely identified on imaging. It is most commonly located in the infrascapular region, deep to the serratus anterior and latissimus dorsi of older women. We present a case of an asymptomatic female patient with a history of left rotator cuff repair and chronic lymphocytic leukemia in remission who was found to have elastofibroma dorsi. As a benign tumoral entity that can look hypermetabolic on positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan (PET-CT), this case demonstrates the importance of an effective clinical diagnosis of elastofibroma dorsi to avoid unnecessary procedures and their related complications while also providing an enhanced understanding of its clinical presentation and radiological and pathological features.
