Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Right Elbow: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
We report a case of a 58-year-old male patient with an extrapleural solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) arising in the soft tissues surrounding the right elbow joint, which is a highly unusual anatomical location. The lesion exhibited slow, progressive growth over the years and was associated with intermittent neurological symptoms. Surgical excision was performed due to tumor growth and progressive neurological deficits to relieve discomfort and prevent further neural damage. Imaging demonstrated a well-circumscribed soft tissue mass, and complete surgical excision was undertaken. Histopathological evaluation revealed a well-circumscribed, encapsulated tumor measuring 5×4.8×3.5 cm with fibrous areas. Immunohistochemical staining showed strong positivity for Cluster of Differentiation (CD)34 and CD99, consistent with the diagnosis of SFT. This case highlights the necessity of including SFT in the differential diagnosis of slow-growing soft tissue masses in various, often atypical locations. Taking into account the potential for local recurrence and malignant transformation, long-term surveillance after resection is recommended, even in histologically benign cases.
