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 tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that most commonly arise from the pleura, with peritoneal origin being exceptionally uncommon. We report a case of a 51-year-old male who presented with a large abdominal mass, subsequently diagnosed as a solitary fibrous tumor originating from the peritoneum. Radiological evaluation revealed a well-defined mass with a vascular pedicle supplied by the inferior mesenteric artery, extending from the pelvis to the lower abdomen. Surgical resection of the tumor, including part of the rectosigmoid junction was performed and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of SFT. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) demonstrated positive staining for CD34, BCL2, and STAT6, supporting the diagnosis. The patient remains disease-free after four years of follow-up. This case contributes to the limited literature on peritoneal SFTs, highlighting the importance of IHC in clinching the diagnosis and of long-term follow-up due to the potential for late recurrence.
