Defining current practice patterns of vestibular schwannoma management in Italy: results of a nationwide survey.
Article in Acta otorhinolaryngologica Italica : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di otorinolaringologia e chirurgia cervico-facciale, 2021. 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
objectiveDespite the increasing incidence rate of vestibular schwannomas (VS), controversies in their management are still present.
methodsA 35-item multiple-choice survey investigating the current practice patterns of VS care was sent to the members of the Italian Society of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery (SIO) and of the Italian Society of Neurosurgery (SINCH).
resultsAmong 66 respondents, 37 (56.0%) claimed to be actively involved in VS management. Most interviewees (35.1%) declared > 20 years of experience and 59.5% claimed to work in an academic practice. The number of cases evaluated in each centre per year varied widely, with 54.0% evaluating > 25 cases/year and only 13.6% > 100 cases/year. Multidisciplinary care for VS evaluation was confirmed by 50.0% of respondents, and multidisciplinary surgical care by 62.2%. Observation and surgery were the most common management options proposed. Further details regarding VS care are presented.
conclusionsThe present study provides the first overview on the current practice patterns of VS care in Italy. Although integrated in most centres, a multidisciplinary model of care needs to be encouraged. Wide heterogeneity in experience and practices is mostly influenced by the surgeon's different specialties and by the lack of shared guidelines.
