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

The surgical management of extensive jugular foramen schwannomas presents a formidable challenge, aiming for gross total resection while minimizing complications. Here, we present a case with giant triple dumbbell-shaped jugular Foramen Schwannoma. A 45-year-old male with a one-year history of a left neck mass underwent surgery. Initial misdiagnosis of submandibular gland inflammation led to persistent symptoms despite anti-inflammatory treatment. Imaging revealed a large lesion in the left cerebellar peduncle-neck-jugular foramen region (39.6 x 26.2 x 90 mm). The combination of retrosigmoid and transcervical approach was selected. Sufficient drilling of the infralabyrinthine, retrofacial area of the mastoid with facial nerve transposition is important for the safe gross total removal of the tumor. The patient underwent a gross total removal of the tumor. Facial nerve function was preserved. Although dysphagia and hoarseness complicated postoperatively, he became able to take foods orally after the surgery. In conclusion, this case underscores the successful surgical approach for a large jugular foramen Schwannoma, emphasizing the importance of precise techniques to achieve complete tumor resection while minimizing postoperative complications.
