1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) of extremities, especially the thighs are very rare. Despite SFTs are generally benign, well-circumscribed soft tissue tumors new cases should be presented and followed up carefully to monitor their biological behavior. In general for tumor classification a biopsy is state of the art. Histological including immunohistochemical patterns for SFTs are defined. MRI and ultrasound are not sufficient for differential diagnosis. Once property identified and defined by size and location, resection with intact tumor capsule may result in full recovery of the patient. Reviewing the literature there are no validated reasons for a wider resection. The current patient was a 41-year-old male. Four years after an arthroscopy of the left knee the patient has been suffering an ongoing swelling of the lateral thigh. Because MRI scan data suggested a synovial sarcoma a biopsy was performed. The tumor was classified as a benign SFT. The diagnosis based on histological findings and the presence of the positive immunohistochemical markers Vimentin, CD34, and CD99. The complete tumor resection with intact capsule was achieved in a final operation. Clinical and in MRI after 54-month outcome period there were no local recurrences.
