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

Laryngeal schwannoma is a rare benign nerve sheath tumor that is slow growing. The diagnosis is made from a combination of clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings, and the main method of treatment is resection. We report a case of a 69-year-old presenting with a neck mass causing stridor, dysphagia, and orthopnea. CT of the neck showed an enhancing mass measuring 6.3 cm and extending superior to the larynx. Emergent tracheostomy and mass resection were performed, and histopathology and immunohistochemical findings were obtained from the specimen supporting schwannoma. In conclusion, while rare, schwannoma should always be considered as a differential diagnosis for a laryngeal mass. More studies are needed to assess the size and prognosis of the tumor.
