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

rationaleSolitary fibrous tumor is a rare mesenchymal tumor. This case report describes the diagnosis and treatment of this tumor. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 31-year-old patient presented with epileptic seizure and headache 1 day prior to the visit and showed transient right limb hemiplegia for 6 hours that was resolved after intravenous infusion of mannitol. DIAGNOSES: Based on imaging, the provisional diagnosis was meningioma. Postsurgical histopathological diagnosis confirmed solitary fibrous tumor.

interventionsThe lesion was totally excised. The patient improved remarkably after the operation, without any signs of associated limb movement disorder. No epileptic seizure was observed or reported after the operation. OUTCOMES: Postoperation computed tomography (CT) scans showed no obvious residual tumor. The patient was followed up every 3 months for a total of 1 year following the operation, during which time the patient did not complain of headache or seizure. LESSONS: The manifestation of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) through imaging methods has certain specific findings,butimmunohistochemistry is still very important for confirming the diagnosis.
