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 tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are rarely encountered in clinical practice. These are unusual mesenchymal tumours initially described as primary spindle-cell neoplasms. Such tumours may manifest in pleural and extrapleural sites such as the liver, parapharyngeal space, sublingual and parotid glands, and thyroid but are seldom described in the nose and paranasal sinus region. Erosion of adjacent structures may occur, but the tumour itself does not metastasise. A young patient presented with a progressive unilateral nasal mass. The initial nasal biopsy reported it as a benign inflammatory nasal polyp. Imaging revealed a large, locally expansile mass within the right nasal cavity displacing the nasal septum. The patient underwent excision of the tumour and the diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumour was confirmed by immunohistochemistry staining. This case is intended to highlight the diagnosis and management of this rare tumour.
