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
Introduction: Jugular Foramen Schwannomas (JFS) have been traditionally treated with surgical resection with an associated significant post-operative morbidity. Stereotactic radiosurgery has been investigated as potentially minimally invasive alternative to microsurgery. The aim of this study was to provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature regarding the outcomes of cases of JFS treated with radiosurgery. Methods: A literature review until 28th of March 2023 was performed. All studies looking at the outcomes of radiosurgery for the treatment of JFS were included. Studies including non-vestibular schwannomas without clear distinction of the tumour type were excluded. Risk of bias was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) scale. Results: Eight Conclusion: According to our findings, radiosurgery for JFS has favourable clinical outcomes with a high rate of long-term tumour control and low complication rates.
