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

background and purposeOrbital SFT is a rare tumor, often misdiagnosed as orbital schwannoma preoperatively but with different prognosis and treatment. Our aim was to evaluate MR imaging features that might distinguish orbital SFT from schwannoma. MATERIALS AND

methodsMR imaging including DCE scanning was performed in 9 patients with SFT and 22 patients with schwannoma in the orbit confirmed by pathology. Location, shape, margin, signal intensity, homogeneity, enhancement pattern, ER, and TIC of the tumors were retrospectively evaluated.

resultsThere was a statistically significant difference between SFT and schwannoma in location and T2 signal intensity (P < .05). A statistically significant difference was also found regarding the enhancement pattern of the very high-signal-intensity areas shown on T2-weighted imaging and the type of TICs (P < .01).

conclusionsMR imaging is useful in differentiating orbital SFT and schwannoma. The enhancement pattern of the very high-signal-intensity areas shown on T2-weighted imaging and the type of TICs on DCE MR imaging played an important role in differentiating orbital SFT from schwannoma.
