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

backgroundLittle is known on the long-term course of patients treated for intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (iSFT). We therefore retrospectively reviewed the charts of our patients who underwent Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for iSFT at Klinik Im Park in Zurich and who were treated by one of the authors. Between 1994 and 2009, two patients underwent GKRS for iSFT at Klinik Im Park. CASE DESCRIPTION: One patient underwent altogether five radiosurgical treatments and two craniotomies for iSFT and its local recurrences. The other patient underwent two craniotomies and one radiosurgical treatment for iSFT. Both patients maintained a Karnofsky performance score 100 during follow-up and both were long-term survivors with a follow-up of 9 and 17 years, respectively.

conclusionA close follow-up of patients with iSFT and repeat radiosurgery or surgery when indicated seems to lead to a favorable long-term outcome.
