Intraosseous Schwannoma of the Frontal Bone: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
Intraosseous schwannoma is a rare diagnosis, particularly so in the skull. Accordingly, little data exists to unify common features of this disease. Here, we present the fourth known case of a primary intraosseous schwannoma of the frontal bone: a 46-year-old male with severe, progressive headache and an osteolytic frontal bone lesion. Gross total resection of the lesion was performed with excellent clinical outcome. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. The limited existing literature on this topic was reviewed to identify emerging trends surrounding presenting symptoms and treatment. Early literature suggests symptoms are often nonspecific, except for lesions of the petrous apex. No cases of recurrence have been demonstrated after gross total resection, though incomplete resection has been associated with recurrence. This diagnosis appears to be becoming a more often-considered differential for osteolytic, expansile skull lesions.
