Ectopic schwannoma of the sellar region in a 1-year-old child: A case report and review of literature.
Review in Surgical neurology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Schwannomas are cranial and spinal nerves' sheath tumors accounting for up to 8% of all intracranial neoplasms. Although typical intracranial schwannomas originate from Schwann cells surrounding cranial nerves, ectopic schwannomas are not associated with a known cranial nerve or have an unknown origin. The location of schwannomas may impose clinical challenges. Sellar region schwannomas are rare whether it is ectopic or not. Herein, we report a pediatric case of a 1-year-old female with ectopic, intra-supra sellar with a literature review. We report the first case of juvenile ectopic schwannoma in the sellar region. Methods: A PubMed Medline database search was performed by the following combined formula of medical subject headings (MESH) terms and keywords: ((sella turcica [MeSH Terms]) OR (sella*[Title/Abstract]) OR (ectopic [Title/Abstract]) AND ((neurilemmoma [MeSH Terms]) OR (schwannoma [Title/Abstract]) OR (neuroma [Title/Abstract]) OR (neurinoma [Title/Abstract])). Results: Total results of 206 articles were obtained. In exclusion of intraparenchymal and intraventricular schwannomas, only 34 articles remained. Thirty-nine cases were included in 34 articles. According to the reported cases, intrasellar schwannomas are more common in elderly individuals in an average of 49.5 years (range: 19- 79 years). They have a good prognosis and affect males to females equally (20:19). Conclusion: Ectopic schwannoma sited in the sellar region is rare. It is the first case to be reported in the pediatric age group with a literature review. This lesion should be highlighted and included in the differential diagnosis of sellar mass.
