1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) are rare and complex neoplastic lesions that are mostly composed of myofibroblastic spindle cells combined with inflammatory cells involving multiple organs with varying clinical presentations with aggressive nature and chances of recurrence and pose a significant diagnostic challenge and requires comprehensive histological evaluation to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective management strategies. We are presenting a case of IMT arising from greater omentum with involvement of transverse colon for which resection of omental tumour with transverse colon and colocolic anastomosis was performed.

Indexed as

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour is a rare mesenchymal tumour which presents with nonspecific symptoms, depending on tumour location. Contrast-enhanced CT helps to assess tumour size and extent and surgical resection remains primary treatment. Diagnosis is confirmed by histopathology and IHC, with ALK positivity being a key marker.Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumoursomentumsurgical excisiontransverse colon
