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

Schwannomas are usually benign tumors that arise from well-differentiated Schwann cells. They rarely occur in the retroperitoneum. Here, we present a case of a 60-year-old man with a giant retroperitoneal pelvic mass. Imageological diagnosis suggested a large heterogeneous mass of 16 cm in diameter located in the abdominopelvic retroperitoneum. Complete intralesional enucleation was achieved without any adjacent organs injury except a severe bleeding which was ceased as we applied the bilateral inferior vesical artery embolization. Final histopathological result showed the tumor was a low malignant Schwannoma. The patient's symptoms were greatly improved after operation. Unfortunately, a local recurrence was detected at the six-month follow-up appointment with consequent losing to follow up.
