Pleural solitary fibrous tumour with brain metastasis: an aggressive tumour and pathologic conundrum.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 tumours of the pleura are a rare finding; those with brain metastases are rarer still. Here, we present the evolution of a pleural solitary fibrous tumour in a 70-year-old male treated surgically, and subsequent brain metastasis requiring emergent craniotomy and excision. The patient received adjuvant radiotherapy to the brain and had no recurrence of brain metastases; however, 1 year surveillance imaging demonstrated metastases to the lungs, liver and spleen for which he received chemotherapy but eventually succumbed to the disease process. Solitary fibrous tumours are most often slow-growing, relatively benign neoplasms. However, up to 10% are malignant. This case highlights the importance of surgical resection of these benign tumours with malignant potential.
