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

STUDY

designRetrospective cohort study.

objectivesIntraspinal solitary fibrous tumor (SFT)/hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is often misdiagnosed preoperatively as schwannoma or meningioma because its imaging characteristics are not well understood. As postoperative prognosis differs among the 3 lesions, predicting the probability of SFT/HPC preoperatively is essential. Thus, this study investigates the imaging characteristics of SFT/HPC compared with those of schwannoma or meningioma and evaluates surgical outcomes.

methodsThe preoperative imaging findings, tumor resection extent, recurrence and regrowth rates, and neurological improvement were compared between 10 patients with SFT/HPC and 42 patients with schwannoma or 40 patients with meningioma.

resultsMost patients with SFT/HPC showed isointensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images compared with patients with schwannoma (
