Radiotherapy for vestibular schwannoma: Review of recent literature results.
Article in Reports of practical oncology and radiotherapy : journal of Greatpoland Cancer Center in Poznan and Polish Society of Radiation Oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
backgroundThe management of vestibular schwannoma is still a quite controversial issue and can include wait and see policy, surgery and radiotherapy, mainly with stereotactic technique. The purpose of this study is to review the results of recent clinical series treated by radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND
methodsLiterature search was performed by Pubmed and Scopus by using the words "vestibular schwannoma, acoustic neuroma, radiotherapy, radiosurgery".
resultsManagement options of VS include wait and see, surgery and radiotherapy. In case of small lesions, literature data report local control rates higher than 90% after radiosurgery (SRS) similar those of surgical techniques. Recent literature reviews show favourable functional outcome by using SRS. Several literature data support the use of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) in case of large inoperable lesions.
conclusionRadiotherapy plays a relevant role in the treatment of VS. In small-size lesions, SRS can guarantee similar local control and potentially better function outcome compared to surgery. In case of large and irregularly shaped lesions, FSRT can be the used when surgery is not feasible.
