Ancient Schwannoma as an exceptional thoracic spinal tumor: A case report.
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Schwannomas are mostly benign tumors arising from the nerve sheath. These tumors can be found anywhere in the body. Depending on their locations, they may cause compressive symptoms as well as cosmetic or functional defects. Ancient schwannomas, the rare variant of schwannomas, are the slow-growing tumors characterized with cystic necrotic degeneration areas in the neoplastic tissue. Ancient schwannomas rarely occur in the spinal canal, they are particularly unusual in the thoracic spine. Herein we present a 66-year-old woman with chronic back pain who is detected a cystic mass in her thoracic spine by magnetic resonance imaging and is diagnosed with ancient schwannoma by histological examination.
