1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 tumors (SFT) are rare spindle cell neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, typically occurring in the pleura, with extra-pleural manifestations being uncommon. SFTs of the nasal cavity are particularly rare, with limited cases documented in the literature. This report presents the case of a 62-year-old female with a solitary fibrous tumor arising from the nasal septum. The patient presented with a unilateral nasal mass, obstruction, and nasal discharge, which did not improve with antibiotics. The tumor was successfully excised via an endonasal endoscopic approach, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of an SFT with positive CD34 and CD99 markers. The patient remained symptom-free with no recurrence over 2 years of follow-up. This case highlights the importance of considering SFTs in the differential diagnosis of nasal masses and underscores the effectiveness of endonasal endoscopic resection as a minimally invasive treatment approach.
