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 are benign tumors that can develop in any part of a nerve containing Schwann cells. Skull base schwannomas are rare, representing approximately 4% of extracranial schwannomas. Among these, vidian nerve schwannomas are particularly uncommon, with only a few documented cases. In this report, we describe the case of a 58-year-old female patient who presented with an incidental finding of a skull base mass. The patient's only symptoms were intermittent headaches and dry eyes. No mass was detected during the physical examination. Radiographic evaluation revealed a neoplasm within the vidian canal, and the lesion's characteristics suggested a schwannoma. The patient underwent endoscopic resection, and subsequent histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of schwannoma. Follow-up imaging and physical examination showed no evidence of recurrence. This case report highlights a schwannoma located in the vidian canal and extending into the foramen rotundum, which was successfully managed with endoscopic surgery.
