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 (SFTs) usually occur in the pleura and account for two-thirds of all cases; however, SFTs occurring in the prostate are extremely rare. Approximately 25 cases have been reported in the literature to date. This study reports the case of a 43-year-old man referred to our hospital with the chief complaint of a pelvic tumor after careful examination. The tumor marker levels were within normal limits. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor, demonstrating primarily low signal intensity. It showed a capsule-like rim at the left lobe of the prostate, suggesting that the tumor was partially invading the rectal wall. Histopathological examination of needle-core biopsies showed spindle cell neoplasm with small and fusiform cells, strongly expressing signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) with a ramifying vascular network. Therefore, the clinical diagnosis of the patient was SFT of the prostate and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed that the tumor was composed of spindle cells with patternless and staghorn patterns. Immunohistochemical analysis showed a strong expression of STAT6. Furthermore, the tumor was partially positive for CD34. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with SFT of the prostate. Two years after the initial diagnosis, the patient was alive with normal erectile function, continence status, and no evidence of the disease.
