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
objectiveThis study aims to illustrate a rare case of retroperitoneal schwannoma by presenting the clinical, imaging, and histological parameters. CASE REPORT: A 36-year-old patient visited the outpatient clinic because of back pain experienced over the previous two months. There were no complaints regarding the nervous system or urinary system. Thorough imaging evaluation, including magnetic resonance for the lumbar spine, abdominal computed tomography, and positron emission tomography was conducted. An encapsulated mass was found in the retroperitoneal area, positioned in front of the O4 vertebra and in close proximity to the left psoas muscle, the left common iliac artery, and the left ureter. The lesion exhibited FDG radioisotope uptake, and a CT-guided biopsy confirmed a benign peripheral nerve tumor. The patient underwent laparotomy surgery, where the tumor was removed. The histological investigation, along with immunohistochemistry, confirmed the presence of a retroperitoneal schwannoma.
conclusionSchwannoma is a rare type of retroperitoneal tumor, with nonspecific clinical and radiological characteristics that make diagnosis difficult. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for symptomatic patients, with a favorable prognosis. Long-term follow-up is advised to reduce the chance of late recurrence.
