Distinct Ultrasound Features of Giant Solitary Fibrous Tumour of the Pleura: A Case Report.

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 tumour of the pleura (SFTP) accounts for < 5% of pleural tumours, and the ultrasound (US) features of giant SFTP (> 20 cm) remain unknown. We present the case of a woman diagnosed with giant SFTP associated with Doege-Potter syndrome, who experienced dyspnea and recurrent hypoglycemia. Chest x-ray revealed a large left hemithorax opacity, initially misdiagnosed as massive pleural effusion, leading to an inappropriate thoracentesis. Subsequent US demonstrated a large heterogeneous mass with intralesional cystic changes and calcifications, which lacks respiratory movement. Computed tomography showed a 27 cm × 15 cm × 12 cm left pleural mass. US-guided biopsy confirmed SFTP. Complete surgical resection resolved all symptoms, including hypoglycemia. This case highlights the distinct US features of giant SFTP, which differ from smaller SFTP reported in the literature. Awareness of the variable US characteristics of SFTP across different sizes can enhance accurate diagnosis and facilitate management.
