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

This study investigates the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of two cases of intraosseous schwannoma that arose in patients with multiple soft tissue schwannomas. In both cases, the patients were adult females and the tibial bone was affected. Vestibular schwannomas were not identified, indicating that these were not cases of neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2). Radiographs showed a well-defined lytic lesion in the proximal tibia; in one case, this was associated with a pathological fracture. Histologically, both cases showed typical features of benign schwannoma. Molecular analysis of one of the excised tumors showed different alterations in the NF2 gene in keeping with a diagnosis of schwannomatosis. Our findings show for the first time that intraosseous schwannomas can occur in schwannomatosis.
