Sinonasal and Infratemporal Schwannoma: Rare Case Report with Literature Review.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Schwann cells are responsible for the production of the myelin sheath around the axons of the peripheral nervous system. Benign neoplasms which originate from Schwann cells are hence termed Schwannomas or Neurilemmomas. They present as slow-growing, solitary, encapsulated, benign masses usually in association with nerve trunks. Schwannomas are relatively rare tumors with 25-45% occurring in the head and neck region. These case reports aim to describe the presentations, work-up, and treatment of two patients with head and neck schwannoma in atypical locations. Both patients had a history of gradually increasing swelling, the first originating from the sino-nasal region and the second from the temporal/ infratemporal region. Complete surgical excision of the tumor was done in both cases with no reported recurrence at 18 months follow-up. The final diagnosis was made based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry findings. Schwannomas often present a diagnostic dilemma and should be considered a possibility in all head and neck tumors. Recurrence is rare.
