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

Schwannoma (neurilemmoma) is a benign tumour that arises from the Schwann cells which cover the nerve sheaths of the peripheral or autonomic nervous system especially the sympathetic system. Reported cases of schwannoma arising from the sinonasal tract are rare. We report a case of a 28-year-old man who presented to otolaryngology-head and neck surgery clinic with left cheek swelling and left-sided nasal obstruction for 1-year period. Endoscopic examination and high-resolution CT scan revealed a homogenous expansile mass occupying the left maxillary antrum extending to the left orbit and left ethmoidal air cells. The mass was excised through endoscopic endonasal approach followed by Caldwell-Luc approach for the residual tumour. Postoperative histopathological examination revealed benign type Antoni A schwannoma.
