A Rare Lower Extremity Intramuscular Lipoma With Heterotopic Ossification.
Article in Case reports in orthopedics, 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: Most lipomatous soft tissue tumors are benign with a low risk of metastasis. Intramuscular lipoma is a very rare subtype with a very high rate of recurrence. When detected late, the differentiation between intramuscular lipoma and liposarcoma on imaging remains challenging. Case Presentation: A 49-year-old male presented with a lipomatous, radiographically lucent, soft tissue lesion in the lower extremity causing occasional numbness and tingling and associated with intralesional calcifications on MRI. The patient underwent a marginal excision of the lesion, which relieved his symptoms. Pathology revealed a lipoma with heterotopic ossification. Conclusions: Intramuscular lipomas are rare and underreported in the literature. When it is difficult to differentiate a lipoma from malignant liposarcoma, surgical intervention may be necessary. Long-term serial follow-ups are needed to assess for future recurrence.
