Incidental Intestinal Schwannoma in a Patient of Ulcerative Colitis With Adhesive Intestinal Obstruction: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Gastrointestinal (GI) schwannomas are very rare. Among GI schwannoma, the most common site is the stomach. Very few cases of intestinal schwannoma have been reported in the literature. Moreover, intestinal schwannoma in the setting of inflammatory bowel disease has rarely been reported. We report a case of ileal schwannoma incidentally detected in a 52-year-old lady with long-lasting ulcerative colitis having intestinal obstruction. On laparotomy, the patient was found to have adhesive intestinal obstruction due to a previous abdominal hysterectomy. On careful inspection of the bowel loops, a 2cm ileal lesion on the mesenteric border was detected. Segmental ileal resection was performed. Histopathology revealed a mesenchymal tumor with immunohistochemical analysis suggestive of schwannoma (CD117-, CD34-, SMA-, and S100+). The patient had an uneventful recovery with no recurrence on follow-up.
