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 is a mesenchymal tumor of intermediate malignant potential characterized by a recurrent NAB2::STAT6 fusion and STAT6 nuclear expression. Primary thyroid solitary fibrous tumor is relatively uncommon, with 45 cases described in the English literature to date. Although its histologic features are characteristic, its diagnosis in the thyroid can be problematic, especially in small biopsies or cytology specimens. We herein present three new cases of thyroid solitary fibrous tumor, one of which is malignant, with new insights on the morphological spectrum and malignant potential of this tumor. We additionally provide a review of the literature with a focus on the clues and challenges of a preoperative cytological diagnosis of this tumor, which can nowadays be supported by STAT6 nuclear expression, when appropriately suspected.
