Kyphoplasty of a C2 Body Intraosseous Schwannoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
We report a case of a 75-year-old male with an incidental and indeterminate lytic lesion of the C2 vertebral body. After rapid enlargement over 16 months, persistent neck pain, and concern for underlying occult malignancy, the patient underwent lesion biopsy and simultaneous balloon kyphoplasty. Histopathological analysis revealed the surprising diagnosis of intraosseous schwannoma. Spinal Intraosseous Schwannomas (SIS) are rare benign tumors, often mimicking more sinister processes on diagnostic imaging. Fortunately, their histologic appearance is identical to schwannomas found more commonly in the soft tissues, providing diagnostic certainty to otherwise ambiguous radiologic findings. Though rare, intraosseous schwannomas remain an important benign diagnostic consideration for incidental solitary lytic bone lesions. To our knowledge, this is the second published case of kyphoplasty involving an SIS.
