Total resection of presacral giant schwannoma via minimally invasive dorsal approach: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundGiant presacral schwannomas are extremely rare in neurosurgery. There are various approaches to the surgical treatment of symptomatic giant presacral schwannomas. The least traumatic is the one-stage surgery with a dorsal approach. OBSERVATIONS: The authors describe a case of a 52-year-old male with pain in the sacral region and partial urinary dysfunction. A total tumor resection through a minimally invasive dorsal approach was performed, and anatomical and functional preservation of all sacral nerves with no postoperative complications was achieved. LESSONS: The authors have shown the possibility of total tumor resection with a minimally invasive dorsal approach without the development of intra- and postoperative complications. Operative corridors that have been created by a tumor can be used and expanded for a minimally invasive dorsal approach to facilitate resection and minimize tissue disruption.
