Oral plexiform schwannoma: A case report and relevant immunohistochemical investigation.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Schwannomas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors originating from the Schwann cells. Most schwannomas in the head and neck region are solitary; however, multiple schwannomas affecting one or more nerves suggest a possible association with neurofibromatosis type 2 and schwannomatosis. Plexiform schwannoma is a rare variant of conventional schwannoma that is characterized by intraneural multinodular growth. This grow pattern has also been observed with other neural tumors which may make diagnosis more difficult. Herein, we report the case of a 28-year-old woman who presented a solitary plexiform schwannoma of great palatine nerve. In the present case, we focused on immunohistochemical analysis in daily practice for the differential diagnosis of schwannomas and their mainly morphological mimics, especially with plexiform neurofibroma, granular cell tumor and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. We also discussed on SMARBC1/IN1 marker usefulness in combination with brain magnetic resonance imaging for the distinction of solitary schwannoma from neurofibromatosis type 2 or schwannomatosis.
