Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Oropharyngeal Lateral Wall: A Case Report and Review of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 tumors (SFTs) of the head and neck are rare, and involvement of the oropharynx is very uncommon. We present the case of an 85-year-old woman who developed a rapidly growing SFT from the lateral pharyngeal wall. This growth caused significant airway blockage and required urgent surgical removal. After the initial surgery, the tumor recurred quickly and resulted in considerable health problems. Histopathology showed typical SFT characteristics, and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis with strong STAT6 nuclear staining. Risk assessment placed the patient in the intermediate-risk category for metastasis and tumor-related death. The patient chose not to pursue further cancer treatment. Early recurrence was noted, and she later passed away from unrelated causes. This report highlights the challenges in diagnosing and treating oropharyngeal SFTs. It emphasizes the need for molecular confirmation and adds to the limited research on SFTs in rare head and neck locations.
