Clinical management and long-term outcomes in pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: a 12-Year experience with 14 surgically treated adult patients at a single center.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 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
backgroundPulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (PIMT) is a rare, borderline mesenchymal neoplasm with unclear etiology. It carries recurrence risks but lacks robust data on surgical outcomes in adults. This study analyzes clinicopathological features and long-term results of surgically managed adult PIMT patients at a single center.
methodsA retrospective analysis of 14 adults (9 male, 5 female; mean age 47.6± 14.1 years) undergoing surgical resection for pathologically confirmed PIMT (2012-2023) at a single institution. All patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Immunohistochemistry was systematically analyzed. The median follow-up for all patients was 53 months (range, 24-122 months).
resultsCommon presenting symptoms included cough (35.7%) , chest tightness (28.6%), and asymptomatic (28.6%). Mean tumor diameter was 3.1± 0.9 cm. Complete (R0) resection was achieved in all cases. No recurrence or metastasis was observed to the time of writing.
conclusionPIMT is a rare tumor requiring pathological confirmation. Complete surgical resection (R0) via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is the preferred curative approach, demonstrating excellent long-term outcomes in this cohort with no recurrence or metastasis observed, but close surveillance is essential due to potential recurrence risk.
