Solitary neurofibroma of the face masquerading as a low-flow vascular malformation - case report and experience of management.
Article in JPRAS open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This case report presents a 34-year-old woman who was referred to our regional plastic surgery unit following a 32-year history of a progressively enlarging mass overlying the left maxilla. The mass was initially diagnosed and treated as a low-flow vascular malformation. However, subsequent histopathological assessment confirmed the diagnosis of a cutaneous neurofibroma. To the best of our knowledge, there are only two other reported cases of a solitary neurofibroma arising from the soft tissue of the face, and this is the first reported case in the United Kingdom (UK). This article highlights difficulties in pre-operative diagnosis of solitary facial neurofibromas. We present our experience in managing this unusual case, discuss radiological clues to aid diagnosis and provide a review of the literature.
