Cervical intranodal schwannoma - a rare diagnosis.
Article in Romanian journal of morphology and embryology = Revue roumaine de morphologie et embryologie. 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
Intranodal schwannoma is a rare benign tumor, which originates from the peripheral nerve sheath (Schwann cells), fewer cases being reported with lymphatic involvement. We present the case of a middle-aged female patient, with one-year growing mass in the lateral-cervical area, in intimate relation with the vascular package of the neck. Preoperative cervical computed tomography examination showed the tumor features. There was no intraoperative complication, with the piece being completely removed. The morphological examination revealed the structure of a lymph node, and after Hematoxylin-Eosin staining, there were eosinophilic cytoplasm, euchromatic nuclei, with round, elongated or slightly wavy form and reduced pleomorphism, rare degenerative nuclear atypia, and no mitotic activity nor necrosis. The expression of S100 protein on immunohistochemistry, along with negative results for smooth muscle actin and desmin sustained the diagnosis of intranodal schwannoma of the neck. With a low index of cellular proliferation (Ki67), this case is in line with the reported features of schwannoma having extremely rare malignant transformation.
