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

Olfactory schwannoma is a very rare tumor, whose origin is still under investigation. We report the case of a 16-year-old adolescent who presented with worsening headaches, hyposmia, and a convulsive crisis. Brain imaging showed a frontobasal lesion, attached to the cribriform plate, with solid and multiseptated cystic components. The patient underwent complete resection of the lesion. A comprehensive molecular study confirmed a methylation pattern consistent with schwannoma. Although rare, olfactory schwannomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of anterior cranial fossa tumors. Given its benign nature, a complete resection leads to favorable long-term outcomes.
