Case Report: Hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor versus hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor in pediatric patients.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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: Hepatic Inflammatory Pseudotumor (HIPT) and Hepatic Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (HIMT) are rare pediatric liver lesions with highly similar clinical and pathological features, easily causing misdiagnosis. Accurate differentiation is critical as they require distinct clinical management strategies. Case summary: Two pediatric hepatic mass cases were included. An 8-year-old girl presented with chronic abdominal pain and was diagnosed with HIMT, with no evidence of recurrence at 12-month follow-up after surgical resection. A 12-year-old girl presented with recurrent fever and abdominal pain. Initial antibiotic treatment failed, and she underwent partial resection for biopsy followed by definitive surgery, along with postoperative antibiotics and low-dose prednisone therapy, and remained free of recurrence at 12-month follow-up. Conclusion: Based on the two cases in our center and narrative review, HIPT and HIMT differ in etiology, clinical manifestations, histopathology, immunohistochemistry and treatment regimens. Comprehensive analysis of all clinical information is required to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce misdiagnosis and overtreatment of the two diseases.
