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 can arise from any cranial, peripheral or autonomic nerve, except the olfactory and optic. About 25-45% of extracranial schwannomas lie in the head and neck. Data on malignant schwannoma from low-income settings are inconsistent. We reported a case of giant periorbital malignant schwannoma successfully treated in a low-income setting. The strength of our case is given not only by the rarity and the size of the disease but also for highlighting the weakness of health system in low-resource settings. It is mandatory to strengthen the health system with particular attention to physical, psychologic and social aspects and to promote comprehensive programs including all these aspects.
