Case Report: Inflammatory myofibroblastoma of the right forearm in an adult male: a clinical report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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: Inflammatory myofibroblastoma (IMT) is rare, and cases located in the limbs are even rarer. We report a case of a 69-year-old Chinese male with a mass in the right forearm. It was surgically removed, and the pathology showed inflammatory myofibroblastoma. This case is reported due to its rare location. The purpose of this case report is to highlight the uniqueness of the case, collect and analyze the imaging characteristics of the disease, and provide assistance for daily clinical diagnosis and treatment. Case presentation: A 69-year-old male patient was reported with an inflammatory myofibroblastoma in the right forearm. A superficial ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic mass in the subcutaneous tissue of the right forearm. MRI showed a space-occupying lesion in the proximal subcutaneous area of the right forearm, and contrast-enhanced scanning was recommended for further evaluation. Postoperative pathological findings showed a malignant tumor of soft tissue origin in the right forearm, and immunohistochemistry suggested inflammatory myofibroblastoma. Conclusions: In summary, Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) in adults is a rare condition. When routine ultrasound or imaging detects limb masses, this disease should be considered.
