An invasive granular cell tumor originating from the left rectus abdominis muscle: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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: Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare soft tissue neoplasms, with invasive forms being exceptionally uncommon in the abdominal wall. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of managing an invasive GCT in an atypical location. Case presentation: A 50-year-old male presented with a painless, enlarging mass in the left rectus abdominis, with no history of trauma or systemic symptoms. Imaging revealed an exophytic mass with ill-defined borders. Histopathological examination confirmed an invasive granular cell tumor. The patient underwent complete surgical resection with partial muscle excision, followed by abdominal wall reconstruction using mesh to prevent hernia formation. Conclusion: Invasive GCTs can occur in the abdominal wall and require complete resection with meticulous reconstruction to ensure both oncological safety and functional integrity. This case underscores the importance of considering GCTs in the differential diagnosis of abdominal wall masses.
