High-cervical solitary fibrous tumour-a case report, and mini-bibliometric analysis.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present a case report of a 53-year-old left-handed gentleman who presented with 8 months of right-sided neck pain and radiating arm pain. MRI spine showed suspicion of an intradural, extramedullary lesion initially thought to be a schwannoma. Single-level laminectomy and resection was carried out and noticeable residuum cauterized. Histopathology showed World Health Organization Grade I solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) with Ki-67 of 6%. No major complications post-operatively. Follow-up MRI spine showed gross total resection in the spinal canal with small residual arising from the nerve root. Solitary fibrous tumour are rare mesenchymal tumour especially in the cervical spine. Higher World Health Organization grade and subtotal resection has been associated with higher recurrence rate and metastases. No high-quality evidence available comparing different standards of treatment and follow-up protocol/treatment. Hence, no consensus available with regards to the optimal management, adjuvant therapy, and follow-up protocol. But regular follow-ups recommended especially for higher-grade tumours.
