Solitary fibrous tumor in the saddle area treated with neuroendoscopic surgery and proton therapy: A case report and literature review.
Article in Oncology letters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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) of the central nervous system is a rare fibroblastic tumor of mesenchymal origin. SFTs in the saddle area are much less common. In January 2022, a 43-year-old female patient was admitted with SFT 3 months following partial resection of a microscopic transsphenoidal saddle area tumor at a different hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated that the unresected part of the tumor was significantly enhanced on T1 enhancement, which strongly indicated a recurrence. Subsequently, the patient underwent transnasal endoscopic saddle area tumor resection at our hospital and the tumor was successfully removed. By using postoperative pathology examination, immunohistochemical analysis of Bcl-2, cluster of differentiation 99, STAT6 and vimentin, and a fusion gene test performed by high-throughput sequencing technology, the SFT was definitively diagnosed. Following 3 months of follow-up, the patient was found to have tumor recurrence in the cavernous sinus and absence of tumor growth in the pituitary fossa. Therefore, the patient received proton therapy and tumor growth was controlled effectively.
