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

Plexiform epithelioid schwannoma (PES) is a rare, benign nerve sheath tumor that can resemble malignant tumors, making diagnosis challenging. We present the case of a 46-year-old Filipino man with a slow-growing mass on his chin. After surgical excision, histopathology confirmed it as PES. Immunohistochemistry supported the diagnosis, showing strong S-100 and SOX10 positivity. The patient recovered well, with no signs of local recurrence. This case highlights the importance of thorough pathological evaluation when diagnosing rare tumors like PES.
