A rare case of a median nerve schwannoma: Case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. 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
A median nerve schwannoma is an uncommon type of tumor that develops from Schwann cells in the peripheral nerves. We present a case report of a young prisoner with a rare median nerve schwannoma presenting as a swelling on the anterior aspect of the right wrist along the radial edge, with associated paresthesia and a positive Tinel's sign. The case was diagnosed using MRI which showed the target sign of biphasic contrast enhancement in both the mass's center and periphery as well as distinct encapsulation. The mass was managed with surgical excision which confirmed the mass to be a neurilemmoma. The radiological finding for neurinomas are not specific and the diagnosis cannot be established unless an excision is made, as neurinomas share common radiological signs with other peripheral nerve tumors and vascular tumors. This case highlights the importance of considering nerve sheath tumors, however rare, in the differential diagnosis of wrist masses, even in young patients with no history of trauma.
