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

Spinal schwannomas are rare nerve root tumors that typically produce subtle symptoms from nerve root compression. These tumors are known to be heterogeneously hyperintense on T2-weighted MRI and avidly enhance with contrast. However, here we describe an L5 spinal schwannoma in a 66-year-old woman that was hypointense on T2-weighted imaging with other radiographic findings more closely aligning with a vascular lesion. The neuroradiologic characteristics on MRI, time resolved MR angiography, and catheter digital subtraction angiography are presented. The patient underwent a full workup for possible dural arteriovenous fistula and thrombosed venous varix before the nerve sheath tumor was discovered intraoperatively and confirmed as a schwannoma on histopathology.
