Solitary fibrous tumors of the infratemporal fossa: case series.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 tumors (SFTs) were first described in the pleura. They are rare mesenchymal tumors of fibroblastic origin. An increasing number of SFTs has been described in the literature over the past years worldwide, particularly in the head and neck region, which is now considered the third most common site of occurrence. We report two cases of SFTs of the infratemporal fossa in two adult patients that were initially diagnosed as schwannomas on magnetic resonance imaging: one female patient with a small nodular lesion of the maxillary retromolar region and one male patient with a giant mass of the infratemporal fossa. Both cases were managed surgically using different approaches, achieving total excision of the masses. The first case has remained disease-free for four years postoperatively, while the second case is now at 1-year postop. To date, very few cases of SFTs in this region have been reported in Africa.
