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

backgroundSchwannomas are benign tumors deriving from the sheath of cranial and peripheral nerves. The vagus nerve is comprised of a complex neuro-endocrine-immune network that maintains homeostasis, most tracts of it play a role in parasympathetic activity. We present an example of a rare cervical vagal schwannoma case accompanied by arrhythmia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 35-year-old female patient with a left cervical vagus schwannoma and ventricular arrhythmia underwent schwannoma resection in the operating room. The patient's suppressed heart rate increased after tumor removal, and the cardiac rhythm returned to normal postoperatively. Pathological examination demonstrated the diagnosis of schwannoma.

conclusionsThis case explains the link between the vagus nerve and the cardiovascular system, proving that a damaged cervical vagus nerve can inhibit the heart rate and lead to arrhythmias, and eventually requiring surgical intervention.
