Nodular Fasciitis of the Piriformis Muscle Initially Concerning for Metastasis in a Patient With Previous History of Colon Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in orthopedics, 2026. 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
Case: We report a case of nodular fasciitis (NF) of the hip in a patient with a history of colon adenocarcinoma, concerning for metastasis. PET/CT showed a hypermetabolic lesion, and MRI revealed a well-defined, enhancing intramuscular mass. Histology identified fascicles of spindle or stellate cells with ovoid nuclei in myxoid and collagenous stroma with sparse inflammatory cells. On immunohistochemistry, the spindle cells expressed smooth muscle actin. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) demonstrated ubiquitin-specific protease 6 (USP-6) gene rearrangement, confirming the diagnosis. Conclusion: NF is a benign, rapidly growing soft tissue lesion mimicking malignancy. Surgical excision is curative. Accurate diagnosis can prevent unnecessary interventions.
