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 mesenchymal neoplasm most often arising from the pleura and rarely in extra-pleural locations, including the gastrointestinal tract. We describe two cases of a SFT presenting as submucosal colonic lesion and review the literature on this lesion. One submucosal lesion was localized in the cecum and was 10 mm in size. The second lesion presented as a 17 mm submucosal rectal lesion. Both lesions presented as well-circumscribed submucosal lesions arranged in short fascicles, blending with abundant collagenous stroma. In both cases, the spindle cells were positive for CD34, STAT6 and CD99, and molecular studies showed NAB2:STAT6 fusion supporting the diagnosis of SFT. Both patients are alive and well 10 and 5 years post-excision, respectively. In conclusion, SFT can occur in the colon as a submucosal lesion and should be included in the differential diagnosis of colonic mesenchymal lesions.
