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 tumor (SFT) is a fibroblastic neoplasm with NAB2 and STAT6 gene fusion as well as STAT6 nuclear expression. Uncommon variants of intracranial SFTs, such as glandular and papillary structures, are extremely rare. We present a rare SFT case in a 64-year-old female demonstrating unprecedented glandular structures and extensive myxoid stromal changes. This morphologic divergence underscores the imperative for molecular validation in SFTs with atypical histologic features. Our findings advocate a refined diagnostic protocol: RNA-based next-generation sequencing (RNA-NGS) must be prioritized in STAT6-immunopositive central nervous system (CNS) mesenchymal tumors when DNA-NGS fails to identify the pathognomonic NAB2::STAT6 fusion, as demonstrated by the resolution of diagnostic ambiguity through detection of a cryptic NAB2-exon4::STAT6-UTR fusion in this case.
