A Rare Case of an Adrenal Schwannoma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Schwannomas are tumors of neoplastic Schwann cells generally found in peripheral nerves in the head, neck, and extremities. They do not demonstrate hormonal abnormalities, and initial symptoms are typically secondary to adjacent organ compression. These tumors are rarely found in the retroperitoneum. We present a rare finding of an adrenal schwannoma in a 75-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with right flank pain. Imaging incidentally demonstrated a 4.8 cm left adrenal mass. Ultimately, she underwent a left robotic adrenalectomy, and immunohistochemical testing confirmed the presence of an adrenal schwannoma. It is imperative to undergo adrenalectomy and immunohistochemical testing to confirm the diagnosis and rule out malignancy.
