Paraneoplastic Hypoglycaemia in a Patient With Solitary Fibrous Tumor of Pleura.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
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 tumours (SFTs) are rare spindle cell neoplasms, predominantly benign, comprising less than 2% of all soft tissue masses. In rare cases, SFTs can lead to Doege-Potter syndrome, a paraneoplastic condition characterised by hypoglycaemia due to elevated levels of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II). Patients typically present with symptomatic hypoglycaemia related to this hormonal dysregulation. We report the case of a 70-year-old man who presented with weight loss, cough, fatigue, tingling, and episodes of confusion associated with recurrent hypoglycaemia. Chest radiography revealed a large soft tissue mass in the right lower hemithorax, and CT-guided biopsy confirmed tumour infiltration in the basal segment of the right lower lobe.
