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 tumours (SFTs) are rare tumours arising from mesenchymal tissues. Despite of their more frequent occurrence in the pleura, SFT can present anywhere in the body. Only a few cases have been described arising from the mesentery. Most tumours have a benign nature; however, up to 20% of them can spread, most commonly to liver, lung and bone. Surgical excision including all surrounding tissues remains the treatment of choice; however, there is no consensus regarding the need for adjuvant therapies. We present a 79-year-old man with abdominal pain who was found to have a SFT in the mesentery of the sigmoid colon, treated with en bloc resection. A multidisciplinary team including surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists is recommended in the care of these patients.
