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

Schwannomas, also known as neurilemmomas, are neurogenic, benign tumors of Schwann cells arising from peripheral nerve sheaths that may be present at almost any anatomical site. A primary mesenteric schwannoma is an extremely rare tumor, with only 12 cases reported in the literature to date. Preoperative diagnosis of mesenteric schwannomas is almost impossible because of the rarity of the case and their nonspecific symptoms. Instead, we made the diagnosis postoperatively using histopathological examination (HPE) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) following the complete surgical resection of the mass. We present the case of a 39-year-old female with painless, progressively increasing abdominal mass for two years. Her preoperative clinical diagnosis was inconclusive, and a diagnosis of a primary mesenteric schwannoma was made after HPE and IHC reports following en bloc resection of the mass.
