Endoscope-assisted low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation of intermuscular angiolipoma in the chest: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Background: Endoscope-assisted surgery (EAS) remains largely unexplored for intermuscular angiolipomas (IA) in children. This study reports a 6-year-old girl with a right chest angiolipoma who underwent EAS via a minintermuscular angiolipomaly invasive anterior axillary fold approach. Methods: Following ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging revealing a provisional diagnosis of IA, the patient underwent endoscope-assisted low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation (LTPRA) under general anesthesia. The procedure was performed through a single 2 cm incision at the right anterior axillary fold utilizing a 5 mm 30° endoscope and pediatric-specific fine instruments. Results: Complete resection of the angiolipoma was achieved with an operative time of 120 min and blood loss of 15 ml. Pathological examination confirmed angiolipoma. At 6-month follow-up, no recurrence and satisfactory wound healing have been observed. Conclusion: EAS proves a feasible and effective therapeutic option for complex anatomical-site angiolipomas due to its efficacy in complete excision and superior cosmetic outcomes. By integrating endoscopic visualization with precise plasma ablation, this technique significantly reduces neurovascular injury risks during deep intermuscular tumor dissection, offering a novel minintermuscular angiolipomaly invasive strategy for lesions in regions challenging for conventional open surgery.
