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

A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare spindle cell neoplasm in adults, usually found in the pleural and thoracic cavities. We report an interesting case of a malignant solitary fibrous tumor in a 64-year-old male who presented with a history of swelling in his right inguinal region that gradually increased in size during the past three years. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the abdomen and pelvis showed a rounded solid mass originating from the right inguinal canal suggestive of sarcoma. Elective excision of the mass was done under general anesthesia with histopathology confirming the diagnosis of high-grade spindle cell sarcoma in keeping with a malignant solitary fibrous tumor. Postoperatively, the patient had no complications and was discharged on postoperative day 4. The patient was then treated with radiotherapy. He remained free of recurrence for two years postoperatively.
