[Diagnosis and treatment of glomus tumors of the skull base and neck].
Review in Der Radiologe, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Glomus tumors (paragangliomas) are rare, usually benign, neuroendocrine tumors that arise from nonchromaffin cells and can be multifocal or familial. They grow slowly, often infiltratively and rarely form metastases. A distinction is made between carotid, jugular, tympanicum and vagal tumors. Depending on the location, clinical symptoms include neck swelling, hearing loss with pulse-synchronous ear noise or cranial nerve failures (IX-XI). Diagnosis is often delayed because of nonspecific symptoms. Diagnostically, tumor expansion and perfusion can be well visualized by color Doppler sonography. In the T2-weighted MRI, the tumor is hyperintense, after contrast agent administration a strong enhancement occurs due to the strong vascularization. In DSA (digital subtraction angiography), even small glomus tumors can be detected. Therapeutically, operative tumor resection after embolization with, e.g., polyvinyl alcohol particles or liquid embolization can be performed. If the patient is in poor general condition or if the tumor is inoperable, different treatment techniques (intensity-modulated radiotherapy, gamma or cyber-knife) may be considered as a conservative therapeutic alternative.
