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 tumor (SFT) is a rare fibroblastic mesenchymal neoplasm with an estimated annual incidence of 0.35 per 100,000 individuals. Doege-Potter syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome related to solitary fibrous tumor clinically characterized by hypoglycemia, occurring in less than 5% of cases. Herein, we report a case of metastatic SFT associated with recurrent severe hypoglycemia. A 43-year-old male with a noncontributory medical history presented with a painless and progressive growing mass in the right thigh. The histological evaluation rendered the diagnosis of SFT, and tumor resection was performed. One year after the operation, on the oncological follow-up, he was admitted to the emergency unit, manifesting an early-morning seizure associated with a severe hypoglycemia. The laboratory findings of non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) in the background of a relapsed metastatic solitary fibrous tumor were consistent with the diagnosis of Doege-Potter syndrome. Hepatic embolization associated with oral glucocorticoid was an efficient palliative treatment to control the hypoglycemic crisis and allow hospital discharge.
