Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura: A giant finding, a benign entity?
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare tumor. The prognosis is relatively good, but up to 20% of the cases are malignant. We presented a case of a large mass of the thorax, showing malignant poor prognosis features. A 73-year-old male, former smoker, presented with a history of dry cough. Chest CT revealed a left bronchopulmonary mass (11 cm × 14 cm) extending from the costal pleura to the left hilum. Histopathologic examination of the transbronchial lung biopsy was consistent with SFTP. A left pneumonectomy was performed due to invasive nature of the lesion. According to features associated to poor prognosis (lung tumor ≥ 10 cm, hipercellularity, abundant intratumor blood vessels and areas of necrosis), and in spite of proliferation index (Ki67+) <1%, the case was discussed in a multidisciplinary meeting, and was assumed to be malignant. At the present time, the patient is his fifth month after surgery, in tight follow up. This case highlights a rare SFTP presenting bad prognosis features, that although completely resected should have long-term follow-up due to the high risk of recurrence.
