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

A schwannoma is a benign peripheral nerve tumor often located in the head and neck, posterior mediastinum, and, less frequently, in the chest wall. The recurrence of schwannoma at the same anatomical site after complete surgical resection is rare. This study discusses the case of a 60-year-old man with a recurring intercostal nerve schwannoma, which appeared eleven years after initial surgical resection in the same area of the chest wall. A second intrathoracic surgery was performed to remove a 6.0 x 3.0 x 2.5 cm partially encapsulated mass. The tumor was completely excised through a thoracotomy approach and revealed to be a schwannoma.
