Case report of seminal vesical schwannoma treated with conservative strategy.
Article in Medicine, 2020. 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
rationaleSchwannoma is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor composed of Schwann cells and caused by genetic mutation or deletion. It rarely occurs in seminal vesicles. The optimal therapic strategy for asymptomatic cases is still unclear. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 42-year-old man presented no clinical symptoms. A mass in his left seminal vesicle was found incidentally in a computed tomography scan and transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy revealed the mass was schwannoma. DIAGNOSIS: The patient was diagnosed as schwannoma of the seminal vesicle with no significant extension to the surrounding tissues.
interventionsThe patient underwent computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans periodically to estimate the alteration of the lesion and further strategy. OUTCOMES: After 20-month follow-up, computed tomography scans showed no significant alteration to the lesion and no clinical symptoms were reported by the patient. LESSONS: Conservative strategy might be an effective treatment option for asymptomatic patients with seminal vesical schwannoma. The period of follow-up depends on the size of the tumor.
