Two cases of pelvic schwannomas simultaneously resected with the prostate by robot-assisted surgery.
Article in IJU case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionSchwannoma is a rare benign tumor of peripheral nerves arising from Schwann cells of the ubiquitous nerve sheath. The operative steps and technical aspects of robotic resection of pelvic schwannoma are described herein. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe two patients with pelvic tumors simultaneously resected with the prostate by robot-assisted surgery: a 69-year-old man with schwannoma of the right side of the pelvic floor and a 68-year-old man with schwannoma in the left pelvis. As metastasis of prostate cancer could not be ruled out, tumorectomy was performed using robotic-associated prostatectomy. Malignancy was absent in the two pelvic tumors, and the patients were diagnosed with schwannoma.
conclusionFor surgery in a narrow deep pelvis, robot-assisted surgery is minimally invasive, offers excellent mobility of robotic instruments and visibility of three-dimensional view, and is a useful approach.
