A Case of Multiple Plexiform Schwannomas.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Schwannoma is a slow-growing nerve sheath tumour comprising differentiated neoplastic Schwann cells. The plexiform variant of schwannoma grows in a plexiform or multinodular pattern and may be conventional or of cellular type. Clinically, they manifest as single, skin-coloured tumours along the distribution of peripheral or cranial nerves. This tumour usually ranges between 2 and 4 cm in size, common sites of localization being the head or the flexor aspect of the extremities. The tumour may be associated with neurofibromatosis Type 2 (but not with neurofibromatosis Type 1). The majority are biphasic tumours containing compact areas (Antoni A tissue) showing occasional nuclear palisading (Verocay bodies), alternating with loosely arranged foci (Antoni B tissue). Here, we report a case of a 37-year-old female patient, with complaints of swellings over the right forearm, right wrist and right hand. Biopsy specimens were sent from each of the swellings for histopathological evaluation. The final impression of plexiform schwannoma was made based on the microscopical examination of hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained sections.
