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 tumors of the pleura (SFTP) are relatively rare primary pleural tumors. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) is reportedly useful in assessing parietal pleural invasion and adhesion in patients with lung cancer. We report a case in which 4D-CT was performed to evaluate SFTP localization and parietal pleural invasion and adhesions. A 62-year-old female presented with an abnormality on a chest radiograph. Chest CT revealed a well-demarcated solid nodule in the left lower lobe adjacent to the pleura. We considered that the tumor was intrapulmonary or arose from the visceral pleura, without adhesion or invasion to the chest wall based on 4D-CT. Primary lung cancer was suspected, and the tumor was resected. Pathological diagnosis revealed an SFTP. This case suggests that 4D-CT is useful in predicting the localization of SFTP and other thoracic tumors, assessing chest wall adhesion and invasion, and making surgical strategies.
