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 well encapsulated mesenchymal tumors of peripheral nerves, with slow growth. The laryngeal schwanomma is exceptional, we present a case not described in the literature of shwannoma in the pre epiglottic space. A 50-year-old woman, who had a history of foreign body sensation for 4 years ago, progressing to high dysphagia and hoarseness. Direct laryngoscopy in suspension demonstrated a regular submucosal mass in the supraglottic space, reducing pharyngo-laryngeal space. CT and MRI concluded with a benign tumor of the preepiglottic space. External surgical excision was performed and a primary tracheotomy was required. The histological examination with an immunochemical study confirmed a benign schwannoma. There was no complication postoperatively. The outcome was excellent after 2 years of follow-up.
