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 tumor (SFT) is a rare primary central nervous system neoplasm that usually presents as a dural-based mass. Awareness of the entity is limited by the rarity of the tumor which renders it prone to misdiagnosis. We present two cases of SFT located in the right parafalx and intraventricular region. The cases were classified as WHO grade 1 and grade 2, respectively. The present study discusses the radiological, histomorphological, and immunohistochemical features of SFT, with emphasis on potential diagnostic pitfalls that may lead to erroneous diagnosis.
