Giant posterior mediastinum dumbbell schwannoma: a case report.
Article in Translational cancer research, 2020. 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
The incidence of mediastinal neurogenic tumors is low and most of the clinical manifestations are atypical. Most tumors are found after huge growth, which is easy to miss the diagnosis and increases the risk and difficulty of surgery. This report is about a case of giant posterior mediastinum dumbbell schwannoma with unique numbness and weakness of both lower limbs as the main symptoms, very rarely. It was resected by both thoracic surgery and orthopedic. Postoperative review showed no numbness or muscle weakness. The report is to review relevant literature to improve the understanding of mediastinal neurogenic tumor.
