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

Intracranial solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) is a relatively rare type of tumor that originates from meningeal mesenchyme. A 30-year-old man presented leaning his body to the left and with weakness of his left lower limb. Computed tomography revealed a heterogeneous mass with multiple cystic components and hyperostosis of the right cranial convexity. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the mass was broadly attached to the dura matter with dural tail sign. In addition, the lesion had extensive cystic degeneration and a solid compartment showing low apparent diffusion coefficient values. The patient underwent gross total resection of the intracranial lesion and presented no recurrence within a 12-month follow-up period. Histopathology confirmed SFT/HPC (World Health Organization grade Ⅱ). Although there have been several useful techniques reported to differentiate SFT/HPC from meningioma, in this case the atypical findings for SFT/HPC made it difficult. We report the imaging findings of this case and some literature reviews.
