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

backgroundGlomangiopericytoma is an uncommonly encountered tumor of the nose and paranasal sinuses, accounting for <0.5% of all sinonasal tumors. Extension of these lesions to the anterior or middle cranial fossa is rare. When this occurs, diagnosing glomangiopericytoma is extremely challenging, as it is often confused with other anterior skull base tumors. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report a case of a giant glomangiopericytoma localizing into the cavernous sinus in a 48-year-old female who presented with mild left-sided ptosis for 48 months. The lesion simulated an intracavernous meningioma on preoperative imaging. An expanded endoscopic endonasal approach was used to debulk the portion of the lesion in the medial compartment of the cavernous sinus. Postoperatively, the patient's ptosis resolved completely, and no new deficits were sustained.

conclusionThis is the only case of glomangiopericytoma localizing solely to the cavernous sinus reported to date.
