Intrathoracic Schwannoma With Horner Syndrome: A Rare Association.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
An incidental large mediastinal mass on the left hemithorax was noted in the chest radiograph of a 21-year-old male with a history of active smoking (five pack years) after a manual reduction for left shoulder dislocation. Horner syndrome (HS) was elicited from history and physical examination. A contrast computed tomography (CT) of the thorax showed a large (8.1 x 7.3 x 7.3 cm), well-defined, heterogeneous enhancing mass over the left apical-posterior mediastinum. The CT-guided biopsy showed spindle cells, suggestive of lung neoplasm. Initial concerns were thus present for lung malignancy and he was referred to thoracic surgery for further evaluation. The thoracic team decided on a left video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and the tumor was resected uneventfully. Unfortunately, the Horner syndrome persisted. The final histopathology confirmed schwannoma. He was briefed regarding the benign prognosis and was eventually discharged. This study serves to illustrate the incidental finding of schwannoma, a rare diagnosis, and its association with Horner syndrome.
