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

Background: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare neoplasms of mesenchymal origin that is thought to arise from pericapillary (Zimmermann) cells. They most commonly occur in the visceral pleura. Here, a 79-year-old male presented with myelopathy attributed to a solitary T8 intradural extramedullary SFT. Case Description: A 79-year-old male presented with progressive paraparesis over several months. A magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracic spine revealed a left-sided, eccentric intradural extramedullary mass at the T8 level. At surgery, the lesion was densely adherent to the cord; nevertheless, it was successfully removed Conclusion: Although intradural extramedullary SFTs are exceedingly rare, we encountered such a lesion at the T8 level that was grossly removed without postoperative neurological sequelae.
