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

Vestibular schwannomas (VSs), also known as acoustic neuromas, are benign, slow-growing tumors. If not detected early or treated appropriately, these tumors can lead to complications such as pressure on adjacent intracranial structures that can affect vital functions. The present report discusses a rare case of a residual VS in a 46-year-old female patient. The patient was a known case of left-sided VS who underwent partial excision of the tumor four years ago and had complete hearing loss on the left side since then. She reported to the clinic with progressive headaches and imbalance while walking. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a large left residual VS compressing the brainstem and cerebellum, which was completely excised, and the patient did well postoperatively. Incomplete resection of VS carries a significant risk of tumor regrowth, necessitating the importance of complete resection with periodic follow-ups.
