Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor Presenting as a Sigmoid Colon Mesenteric Mass in a Child: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Insight.
Article in Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons. 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
We present the case of a 1-year-old girl who had been experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms for 15 days. The clinical examination showed a 3 cm × 3 cm mass in the lower abdomen that was not tender and did not move. The contrast-enhanced computed tomography imaging revealed a 4.7 cm × 5.5 cm soft tissue density lesion in the left half of the pelvis, which is likely to have originated from the ovary. The surgical exploration uncovered a 5 cm × 6 cm × 5 cm solid-cystic mass originating from the sigmoid colon mesentery. The histopathology report indicated a benign mesenchymal tumor, favoring inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT)-WHO intermediate grade. After the surgery, there was no recurrence, and the patient's recovery was smooth. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing IMT due to its nonspecific symptoms and the crucial role that immunohistochemistry and histopathology play in accurately identifying the condition. The foundation of treatment remains surgical removal, with ongoing monitoring recommended due to the potential for recurrence.
