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

Regardless of the controversial pathogenesis, intracranial meningeal hemangiopericytoma (M-HPC) is a rare, highly cellular and vascularized mesenchymal tumor that is characterized by a high tendency for recurrence and extraneural metastasis, despite radical excision and postoperative radiotherapy. M-HPC shares similar clinical manifestations and radiological findings with meningioma, which causes difficulty in differentiation of this entity from those prognostically favorable mimics prior to surgery. Treatment of M-HPC, particularly in metastatic settings, remains a challenge. A case is described of primary M-HPC with recurrence at the initial and distant intracranial sites and extraneural multiple-organ metastases in a 36-year-old female. The metastasis of M-HPC was extremely extensive, and to the best of our knowledge this is the first case of M-HPC with delayed metastasis to the bilateral kidneys. The data suggests that preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging could provide certain diagnostic clues and useful information for more optimal treatment planning. The results may imply that novel drugs, such as temozolomide and bevacizumab, as a component of multimodality therapy of M-HPC may deserve further investigation.
