Metastasis of a Solitary Fibrous Tumor in the Mandible: A Case Report.
Article in Cancer diagnosis & prognosis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm and belongs to the group of soft tissue sarcomas. The SFT is characterized by indolent, slowly progressive growth and manifests itself clinically by compression of neighboring structures. The treatment of choice is surgical removal of the tumor. In advanced stages, there is also the possibility of chemotherapy, systemic therapy, or immunotherapy, as well as radiotherapy. Depending on their location and severity, SFTs show different recurrence rates and survival functions. CASE REPORT: The present case report shows an extremely rare localization of a low-risk SFT in the floor of the mouth. Despite complete surgical removal of the SFT, the patient showed a metastasis of the SFT in the mandible two years postoperatively. Therefore, this case report shows that even a low-risk SFT in the localized stage can metastasize despite of total surgical removal. Consequently, SFTs of the head and neck region require close clinical and imaging follow-up.
conclusionAlthough the localization of the SFT in the oral cavity is a rarity, this entity should be included in the differential diagnosis in the case of long-term space-occupying processes in the head and neck region. This report is the first regarding metastasis of a SFT to the mandible.
