Vestibular schwannoma in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1: clinical report and literature review.
Review in Familial cancer, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We describe a young patient with typical neurofibromatosis type 1 on the basis of a mutation in the NF1 gene, who was diagnosed with a unilateral vestibular schwannoma caused by a somatic mutation in the NF2 gene. This combination has not been described before. This report highlights the requirement for ongoing surveillance regarding other manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 2 in such patients, as mosaicism cannot be ruled out. In addition to the NF1 mutation, the NF2 mutation should be considered in such cases if pre-implantation genetic diagnosis in undertaken.
