Elastofibroma dorsi: imaging-guided minimally invasive treatment using percutaneous CO
Article in Skeletal radiology, 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
objectiveElastofibroma dorsi is a benign slow-growing fibroelastic pseudotumoral lesion that typically arises in the infrascapular region of elderly individuals and is usually managed conservatively or by surgical excision when symptomatic. Percutaneous cryoablation has only recently been described for this entity, and experience remains very limited. We report the case of a symptomatic left elastofibroma dorsi treated by percutaneous cryoablation using a CO MATERIALS AND
methodsA 66-year-old man with non-painful but mechanically symptomatic left elastofibroma dorsi, unwilling to undergo surgery, came to our attention to be treated with minimally invasive approach. Pre-treatment MRI demonstrated a lesion measuring 48 × 18 × 70 mm (31.6 mL) in the typical subscapular location. The lesion was treated by US-CT-guided percutaneous cryoablation using a CO
resultsThe procedure was technically successful and well tolerated, with no immediate or delayed complications and free from immediate and post-treatment pain. At 3-month follow-up, contrast-enhanced MRI showed size reduction to 38 × 12 × 59 mm (14.1 mL, - 55.3% volume reduction), with internal non-enhancing necrotic change consistent with post-ablation effect. Clinically, the patient reported complete resolution of mechanical symptoms.
conclusionsThis case suggests that percutaneous CO
