Integrated Neurosurgical Management of Retroperitoneal Benign Nerve Sheath Tumors.

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
Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) of the retroperitoneum are rare and are often treated by general surgeons dealing with retroperitoneal cancers. However, resection without the correct microsurgical technique can cause permanent neurological deficits and pain. Here, we discuss our interdisciplinary approach based on the integration of expertise from neurosurgery and abdominal surgery, allowing for both safe exposure and nerve-sparing microsurgical resection of these lesions. We present a series of 15 patients who underwent resection of benign retroperitoneal or pelvic PNST at our institution. The mean age of patients was 48.4 years; 67% were female. Tumors were 14 schwannomas and 1 neurofibroma. Eight patients (53%) reported neurologic symptoms preoperatively. The rate of complete resection was 87% (n = 13); all symptomatic patients showed improvement of their preoperative symptoms. There were no postoperative motor deficits; one patient (7%) developed a permanent sensory deficit. At a mean postoperative follow-up of 31 months, we observed no recurrences. To our best knowledge, this is the second-largest series of benign retroperitoneal PNST consistently managed with microsurgical techniques. Our experience confirms that interdisciplinary management allows for safe treatment of these tumors with good neurological and oncological outcomes.
