Abducens nerve schwannoma of the cavernous sinus: A case report and literature review.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSchwannomas of the abducens nerve are a rare pathology and are encountered less within the cavernous sinus. We describe a case of sixth cranial nerve schwannoma, in the cavernous sinus. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 50-year-old lady, presented with 2 years history of double vision and left facial numbness that started 6 months before presentation, found to have hyperintense lobulated mass at the left cavernous sinus extending into Meckel's cave with bony remodeling on magnetic resonance imaging. She underwent left frontotemporal craniotomy, combined extra-intradural approach, gross total resection. She had a gradual recovery of the sixth cranial nerve function.
conclusionAbducens nerve schwannoma of the cavernous sinus is a rare and challenging tumor. However amenable to surgical intervention with favorable neurological outcome.
