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
Purpose: To describe the perfusion patterns of solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura (SFTP) using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Materials and Methods: Between November 2012 and 2024, six patients with histologically confirmed SFTP underwent B-mode ultrasound (B-US) and CEUS. Parameters from the arterial phase, including flow-in pattern, extent of enhancement (EE; marked or reduced/absent), and homogeneity of enhancement (HE; homogeneous or inhomogeneous) were retrospectively analyzed. Results: All 6 lesions displayed a flow-in perfusion pattern that originated from a peripheral point. Five lesions (83.3%) exhibited arterial hyperenhancement and 1 (16.7%) showed hypoenhancement. HE was inhomogeneous in 5 lesions (83.3%) and homogeneous in 1 (16.7%). Conclusion: On CEUS, all cases showed an arterial flow-in perfusion that originated from a peripheral point in an SFT, which could be a diagnostic clue for the non-invasive diagnosis of SFTPs. Given the risk of tumor seeding, direct surgical resection may be preferable to biopsy in these cases.
