"Wait and scan" management of patients with vestibular schwannoma and the relevance of non-contrast MRI in the follow-up.
Review in Journal of otology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a slow-growing benign neoplasm. There has been an evolution in the management of VS from active treatments (microsurgery and stereotactic radiotherapy) to conservative management (wait and scan). Regular MRI scanning is necessary to monitor tumor progression. Conservative management causes significantly less complications and offers a higher quality of life compared with active treatments. The mean growth rate of VS varies from 0.4 to 2.9 mm/year, and spontaneous shrinkage is observed in 3.8 percent of tumors during observation. If significant growth occurs, active treatment is considered. Significant growth is defined as an increase of at least 3 mm in the largest extrameatal diameter in any plane between the first and last available scans. The vestibulocochlear nerve is surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid, which provides natural contrast for MRI; thus, gadolinium may not be needed to detect VS. Specific sequences have high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for detection of progression. Hypointense signal in the ipsilateral inner ear fluid might be a useful sign to distinguish VS from meningioma. In this paper, we summarize the current status of research on conservative management and non-contrast MRI for the detection of VS.
