Incidental Finding of an Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Urinary Bladder: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Bladder inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rare lesions with intermediate malignant potential and unclear management guidelines. We report the case of a 61-year-old male presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms and a bladder mass. Histology revealed spindle cells with mild atypia and chronic inflammation, and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positivity suggested a TPM3-ALK fusion. The tumor was completely resected via transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), with no recurrence at the six-month follow-up. This case illustrates the diagnostic complexity of bladder IMTs and emphasizes the importance of histopathology and close surveillance due to the risk of recurrence and rare metastasis.
