Tongue Schwannoma: A Clinicopathologic Study of 19 Cases.
Article in Head and neck pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 commonly occur in the head and neck but infrequently involve the oral cavity and rarely affect the tongue. The clinical and pathologic features of 19 cases of schwannoma arising in the tongue were analyzed. There were 13 males and 6 females ranging in age from 12 to 82 years (mean 34 years; median 29 years). The majority of tumors presented as an asymptomatic mass localized to the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Histologically, 18 schwannomas exhibited characteristic Antoni A and B areas with the former pattern predominating. One tumor was composed exclusively of cellular Antoni A tissue and was classified as a cellular schwannoma. Tumor encapsulation was variable with nearly half of the lesions lacking a well-defined fibrous capsule. All were strongly and diffusely positive for S-100 protein. No recurrences were observed on clinical follow-up. Schwannoma of the tongue, although rare, should be separated from other types of lingual nerve sheath proliferations and tumors.
