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

Calcifying fibrous tumour (CFT), also known as calcifying fibrous pseudotumor, is a rare benign tumour that accounts for ~0.5% of all diaphragmatic tumours. It affects predominantly children and young adults, with a slight female predilection. Owing to its non-specific clinical presentations and imaging features along with its indolent growth pattern, CFT is frequently misdiagnosed. Histopathological examination remains the diagnostic gold standard, while complete surgical excision constitutes the mainstay of treatment. The present study reported a rare case of diaphragmatic CFT. Furthermore, all the case reports of CFT published in English in the PubMed database from 1946 to 2024 and detailed its diagnostic workup and therapeutic management were reviewed to enhance the recognition of CFT. The present study aims to reduce the number of missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses of CFT and the number of unnecessary high-risk surgeries, thereby improving the quality of life of patients with CFT.
