Extracranial Head and Neck Schwannomas: A Case Series and Review of Literature.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Schwannomas are benign nerve tumors of schwann cell origin. Schwann cells are derived from neural crest and are therefore of neuroectodermal origin. 25-40% of all schwannomas arise in the head and neck region. The most common schwannomas are vagal schwannomas and cervical schwannomas in the head and neck region. Here we present two cases of head and neck schwannomas which were not identified as originating from any major nerve. The first patient had a schwannoma in the infratemporal region which was excised by performing transzygomatic approach, and the second patient had a schwannoma in the left lateral part of the neck which was excised using a cervical crease incision.
