Case of colonic mucosal Schwann cell hamartoma and review of literature on unusual colonic polyps.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Mucosal Schwann cell hamartomas (MSCH) are benign mesenchymal tumours rarely seen in the gastrointestinal tract. They occasionally present as incidental sessile polyps during colonoscopy. A 55-year-old asymptomatic female patient with a medical history of multiple sclerosis presented for a screening colonoscopy. A 5 mm low-risk tubular adenoma was noted in the caecum, and a second 5 mm polyp was found in the ascending colon. Histopathology of the ascending colon polyp showed proliferation of spindle cells without ganglion cells in the lamina propria. Immunohistochemical findings are compatible with an MSCH. Surveillance colonoscopy was scheduled in 5 years based on the presence of a single low-risk tubular adenoma.
