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

purposeTo report the clinical features and pathology of orbital solitary fibrous tumors and present a case of a recurrence in a 12-year-old boy.

methodsCase Report.

resultsA 12-year-old boy presented to our institution with double vision in upgaze for 6 months. Examination revealed 3 mm of left-sided proptosis, hypoglobus, and -3 impairment of supraduction. Magnetic resonance imaging of the orbits showed an avidly enhancing mass within the superolateral aspect of the orbit. Biopsy revealed a solitary fibrous tumor with STAT6 and CD34 positivity. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography was negative for metastatic disease. The tumor underwent excision. However, 4 months postoperatively, imaging revealed changes consistent with recurrence. A repeat lateral orbitotomy with orbital rim marginotomy was performed with complete gross excision of the tumor. The patient remains tumor-free 22 months after reoperation.

conclusionOrbital solitary fibrous tumor rarely occurs in the pediatric population. Despite initial complete gross tumor excision, this case represents the youngest individual with a recurrence to the authors' knowledge. This case of rapid recurrence may have been due to tumor seeding at the time of initial biopsy or other factors. This case increases the known spectrum of orbital solitary fibrous tumors.
