1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSchwannomas or neurilemmomas are well-encapsulated, benign, solitary, and slow-growing tumors that originate from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. Extracranial schwannoma is reported to have a relatively high incidence in the tongue while an extremely low incidence in the floor of mouth. In the current study, we presented the first case series of hypoglossal nerve-derived schwannoma in the floor of mouth in Asia.

methodsA retrospective study of 9 surgical cases of hypoglossal nerve-derived schwannoma in the floor of mouth was performed. The patient and tumor characteristics were evaluated by physical, radiological and pathological examination. Details of operation and complications were also recorded.

resultsHypoglossal nerve-derived schwannoma in the floor of mouth showed a well-defined boundary with a firm texture, smooth surface and good mobility on palpation. The median maximum diameter of the tumors was 4.3 cm (range 2.8-7.0 cm). The median operative time and bleeding volumes were 89.4 min (range 47-180 min) and 99.2 mL (range 15-200 mL), respectively. All cases received complete surgical excision.

conclusionIn this study, we presented the diagnosis and management of hypoglossal nerve-derived schwannoma in the floor of mouth for the first time in Asia. The study provided us with a recommendation for consideration of the diagnosis of hypoglossal schwannoma when a patient presents with a mass in the floor of mouth.
