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 tumor (SFT) mostly originates from the pleura because of proliferation of fibroblast cells. It is extremely rare for the tumor to originate from the spinal cord. Here, we report a rare case of SFT in the spinal cord that recurred repeatedly and progressed from intramedullary to extramedullary. A 40-year-old man underwent C4-5 intramedullary and extramedullary tumor resection in another hospital. Eighteen years later, he experienced symptoms of myelopathy because of tumor recurrence; therefore, he consulted with our hospital and underwent tumor resection again. During surgery, we found that the tumor had an intramedullary and extramedullary location. Only partial resection was possible because of intraoperative deterioration in the compound motor action potential (CMAP). After resection, the pathological diagnosis was SFT. The postoperative course was good. However, two years later, a third tumor resection was required because of dysuria and tumor growth. In this surgery, total resection of the tumor was possible without intraoperative deterioration of the CMAP. The tumor has not subsequently recurred. However, SFT recurrence is relatively common and careful follow-up is required for early detection of recurrence, even after successful removal of the tumor.
