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

Intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm that typically appears as a solid mass, whereas cases with predominantly cystic change are extremely uncommon. We report a case of intracranial SFT presenting as a cystic lesion. A 67-year-old woman presented with progressive memory impairment and gait instability over a 6-month period. CT and MRI revealed a mass located along the falx cerebri, composed predominantly of cystic components. The patient underwent surgical tumor resection, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of SFT, CNS WHO grade 2. Postoperative radiotherapy was administered, and no evidence of recurrence was observed during a 2-year follow-up period. Because SFT is an aggressive tumor with a high risk of recurrence and distant metastasis, accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment planning and postoperative surveillance. Therefore, SFT should be included in the differential diagnosis of intracranial tumors with cystic morphology.
