Mobile schwannomas of the spine: Diagnostic and surgical considerations of two cases.
Article in Journal of craniovertebral junction & spine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mobile schwannomas, or schwann cell tumors, are rare, but their ability to migrate within the spinal canal complicates diagnosis and treatment. We report two cases of mobile schwannomas in the lower thoracic and lumbar spine, both presenting with intermittent low back and leg pain and leg numbness. MRIs revealed cystic masses that shifted positions over time, eventually causing disruptive pain that prompted surgical intervention. Postoperative outcomes were favorable, highlighting the importance of considering tumor mobility in preoperative planning. Mobile schwannomas present diagnostic and surgical challenges. Recognizing the potential for tumor mobility is crucial in developing effective treatment strategies, as it impacts clinical presentation and surgical approach.
