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
objectivesExtra-pleural solitary fibrous tumor (ESFT) is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm that is anatomically ubiquitous and may be found anywhere in the body, including the head and neck region. It is usually asymptomatic and presents as a slowly growing painless mass. Only three cases of retropharyngeal ESFT have been reported in the literature. METHODS AND
resultsA 54-year-old female affected by a cervicomediastinal mass complained of progressive dysphonia, pharyngeal foreign body sensation, and mild dyspnea. CT and MR showed a huge retropharyngoesophageal lesion extending to the upper posterior mediastinum. The tumor, despite its caudal extension, was completely removed with a pure cervicotomic approach; histology was consistent with ESFT.
conclusionsHistopathology and immunohistochemistry are crucial in the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor. Radical excision after primary treatment is the most important indicator of prognosis, and long-term clinical follow-up is recommended due to the possibility of recurrence and/or malignant transformation.
