Malignant intracranial solitary fibrous tumor: A case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. 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
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), previously termed hemangiopericytoma, is a rare primary intracranial tumor. SFT is classified into grades I, II, and III with different prognoses; grade III tumor has malignant characteristics with a high probability of recurrence and extracranial metastasis. We report the case of a 63-year-old female patient admitted to the Vietnam National Cancer Hospital with headache, dizziness, nausea, ataxia, and loss of balance. Computed tomography showed a markedly enhanced tumor, without calcification, located in the posterior fossa close to the tentorium cerebelli. No changes in the adjacent bone were seen. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lobular extra-axial tumor with prominent flow voids, a finding that has been seen frequently in these tumors. The tumor was resected following an initial diagnosis of SFT. Postoperative histology indicated a grade III SFT according to the World Health Organization 2021 classification. SFT is often misdiagnosed as meningioma, as they have some imaging features in common. However, we believe that there are some characteristic magnetic resonance imaging features that help to distinguish between these tumors, as well as playing an essential role in SFT grading and potentially guiding the best therapeutic decision.
