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

Glomangiopericytoma (GPC) is a rare tumour, accounting <0.5% of all nasal cavity tumours. It is classified as borderline malignant to indolent and is associated with perivascular myeloid cells. We report a case of GPC in a woman in her 80s who presented with nasal obstruction. The tumour originated from the nasal septum and was resected via endoscopic sinus surgery. Histopathological examination revealed dense spindle-shaped to oval-shaped mesenchymal cells forming tumour nodules with staghorn-like vessel formation. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the tumour cells were positive for α-smooth muscle actin, CD34, β-catenin and cyclin D1, whereas they were negative for STAT6. The percentage of Ki-67-positive cells was approximately 2%. Recent studies have demonstrated a high frequency of β-catenin (
