Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Shoulder Metastasizing to the Small Intestine Presenting as Intussusception: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare vascular malignancies that are rarely reported in the upper limb, and even rarer as secondary metastasis to the small bowel. We present a case of a 39-year-old male patient, a known case of metastatic SFT, presenting with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography showed ileo-ileal intussusception. Subsequently, he underwent surgical resection. Histopathological examination showed high-grade sarcoma of the intestinal wall, confirming small intestinal metastasis. This constitutes one of the rare cases of SFTs metastasizing to the small bowel, specifically to the ileum. A review of the literature on similar cases is presented. There appears to be a connection between upper limb SFT and bowel metastasis according to reported literature. However, the scarcity of similar reports makes the generalizability of the conclusion limited.
