Multiple Schwannomas of the Sciatic Nerve: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Schwannomas are common benign tumors originating from the nerve sheath. Sciatic nerve involvement is rare. This case report describes an unusual presentation of multiple schwannomas affecting the sciatic nerve with no history of neurofibromatosis. A 53-year-old male complained of discomfort in the left knee with a lump in the left popliteal fossa. MRI revealed several schwannomas arising from the sciatic nerve. The patient underwent a successful surgical excision. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Our case highlights a rare occurrence of multiple sciatic nerve schwannomas without neurofibromatosis, supporting the concept of schwannomatosis as a distinct clinical entity. MRI and histopathology played crucial roles in diagnosis. Complete surgical excision resulted in a favorable outcome. This report emphasizes the importance of thorough clinical evaluation and imaging in diagnosing schwannomatosis. Further studies are needed to explore the genetic and molecular basis for improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
