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

Schwannomas are well-encapsulated, benign tumors arising from Schwann cell constituting the nerve sheaths. We report a case of a cystic conventional schwannoma, measuring 2.5×3 cm, located in the distal forearm of a 33-year-old female patient with no sign of neurofibromatosis type 2 or type 3. The mass was painless, but Tinel's sign was positive. Ultrasonography showed a soft tissue cystic mass diagnosed as being synovial cyst in the left distal forearm. Surgical resection was performed without any complications. Histopathological examinations oriented the diagnosis to a schwannoma, but immunohistochemical stainings proved the tumor origin in Schwann cells and made the differential diagnosis with other pathologies, like neurofibroma, leiomyoma, epithelial cyst, synovial cyst, or ganglion cyst.
