Laryngeal schwannoma with extralaryngeal extension mimicking a thyroid tumour.
Article in BJR case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: A schwannoma is a common benign tumour that can arise anywhere in the body. When it occurs in an unusual location such as the larynx, its differentiation from other tumours can be challenging. Herein, we report a case of a laryngeal schwannoma with extralaryngeal extension that mimicked a thyroid tumour, focusing on its characteristic features on MRI. Methods: A 19-year-old male presented with a mass in the left side of the neck and hoarseness for 2 years. Endoscopy showed a submucosal mass in the laryngeal region. MRI found a well-defined solid mass in the thyroid gland, extending to the larynx through the lower edge of the thyroid cartilage. Conclusion: A large laryngeal schwannoma may extend outside the larynx with significant compression of the thyroid gland. Understanding the pattern of extension and familiarity with the features on MRI can improve the preoperative diagnosis accuracy.
