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 of the sinonasal tract are rare, accounting for <4% of head and neck schwannomas. We report the case of a 61-year-old male who presented with unilateral nasal symptoms. Examination and imaging revealed a unilateral polyp at the level of the middle turbinate, with an initial biopsy suggestive of an inflammatory polyp. Due to the persistence of the patient's symptoms and his polyp despite medical therapy, endoscopic nasal polypectomy was performed. The histology surprisingly showed a schwannoma. No further interventions were carried out, and the patient remains disease-free 6 months postoperatively. A review of the literature comprising 60 cases is included. An optimal clinical approach to the investigation and management of schwannomas of the sinonasal tract is subsequently discussed.
