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

Plexiform neurofibroma is characterized by diffuse intraneural neoplastic overgrowth involving a long nerve segment, with tortuous expansion of its branches. It is a hallmark of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). We report the case of a 36-year-old man with a known diagnosis of NF1, who was admitted for chronic posterior cervical pain and cervicobrachial neuralgia. MRI findings were consistent with plexiform neurofibromas. This case underscores the importance for radiologists to consider these tumors as a potential cause of cervicobrachial neuralgia in patients with NF1.
