Primary schwannoma of maxillary sinus masquerading as malignant tumour.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Polyp and mucocele are the commonest sinonasal tumours and schwannoma is rarely found in the paranasal sinuses. We report a case of a 64-year-old man presenting with progressive nasal obstruction and numbness on left cheek for the past 2 months. High-resolution CT found a soft tissue mass in the maxillary antrum with bony destruction. Clinical features, radiological scan and nasal endoscopic examination were suggestive of a malignant tumour. Tumour was excised through Caldwell-Luc's approach and histopathological examination found a mixed schwannoma.
