Bilateral Inferior Rectus Schwannoma and Strabismus: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Schwannomas, also known as neurilemomas, are peripheral nerve sheath neoplasms. They can be sporadic or associated with genetic syndromes including neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). Schwannomas may lead to symptoms by exerting pressure on nearby structures, such as nerve and muscle fibers. In this study, we present the case of a 22-year-old female with a history of NF2 who, upon examination, presented with a visibly enlarged salmon-colored mass involving the left inferior rectus that she had since the age of 12 years. Ocular examinations revealed a small left hypertropia and exotropia in all gazes. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed bilateral involvement of the inferior rectus muscles. She had a partial excisional biopsy of the mass involving the left inferior rectus muscle that confirmed the presence of schwannoma. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive evaluation of sensory and motor functions as well as considering orbital schwannomas in cases of strabismus, especially within the context of neurofibromatosis.
