Presentation of orbital solitary fibrous tumours.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2023. 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
aimsTo evaluate presenting features of patients with orbital solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs), based on histological phenotype.
methodsA retrospective case-note review was performed for demographics and presenting features for patients with orbital SFTs. The tumours were classified as "Group IA" hypocellular SFT phenotype, "Group IB" haemangiopericytoma phenotype and low mitotic activity, and high-grade "Group II" haemangiopericytoma phenotype with high mitotic activity.
resultsSixty-four patients (34 female; 53%) presented at a mean age of 42.2 years (median 38; range 19-82), with Group II patients presenting at an older age (mean 53 years). Median symptom duration was 12 months for Groups IA and IB, compared to 4 months for Group II, the commonest symptoms being proptosis (53%), diplopia (41%), periorbital swelling (31%), and altered vision (19%). Mean LogMAR was 0.17 (median 0.0; range -0.2-4), and 14% had ipsilateral optic neuropathy, with no significant difference between the three groups. Non-axial displacement was noted in 69%, a palpable mass in 45%, and reduced eye movements in 59%; choroidal folds and optic disc swelling were recorded in 12% and 9%. SFTs were mostly extraconal (59%), within the superior and superonasal quadrants (44%), with an average estimated tumour volume of 4.9 ml (median 3.6; range 0.31-14.5 ml).
conclusionSFTs may present with impaired visual function (∼15%), fundal abnormalities (a fifth), globe displacement (two-thirds), and reduced ocular motility (over a half). High-grade tumours tend to present more than a decade later, with a shorter duration of symptoms.
