Preoperative Embolization of a Giant Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Only 5% of pleural neoplasms are fibrous tumors of the pleura, which typically develop from sub-mesothelial mesenchymal tissue of the visceral pleura. These tumors often behave clinically benignly, and when they are larger than 15 cm or occupy more than 40% of the hemithorax, they are referred to as "giant" tumors. Surgical excision is the gold standard treatment, although intra-operative bleeding is one of the major complications. In this case report, we discuss a 39-year-old female patient with a large homogeneous enhancing mass of soft tissue density in the right lower hemithorax with systemic arterial supply from the right inferior phrenic artery. Angiography and embolization were valuable adjuncts in preoperative management. Via thoracotomy, the mass was successfully removed completely with minimal blood loss. Giant SFTP is a rare neoplasm of the pleura. Intraoperative bleeding is one of the main complications during surgical resection, which is the gold standard of its treatment. Angiography and embolization are valuable complements in the preoperative treatment of this type of tumors to reduce intraoperative blood loss and operative times.
