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: Orbital solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) is an exceedingly rare mesenchymal neoplasm in the pediatric population. While typical orbital tumors present with proptosis or mass effect, the clinical picture can be deceptively indolent, leading to diagnostic delay. Case presentation: A 15-year-old male patient presented with a 2-year history of progressive right upper eyelid edema that had repeatedly been misdiagnosed as conjunctivitis and visual fatigue. Notably, there was an absence of proptosis, visual decline, or ocular motility restriction. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an extraconal mass posterior to the right globe. The patient underwent lateral orbitotomy with Conclusion: This case underscores that persistent, asymmetric eyelid edema in a child-even in the absence of classic orbital signs-warrants dedicated orbital imaging to exclude space-occupying lesions. Complete surgical resection via lateral orbitotomy provides the definitive diagnosis and effective local control for orbital SFT/HPC.
