Rare Presentation of Cervical Ganglioneuroma: 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. 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
Ganglioneuromas are rare, benign neoplasms of autonomic origin that represent the most differentiated end of the spectrum of peripheral neuroblastic tumors. Most commonly found in the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum, cervical involvement is distinctly uncommon. These tumors usually remain asymptomatic until they exert pressure on surrounding structures. We report the case of a 19-year-old boy who presented with a progressive right-sided cervical mass and contralateral vocal cord paralysis. Imaging revealed a well-circumscribed, encapsulated lesion medial to the carotid space. Surgical excision was performed, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of ganglioneuroma. This case is notable not only for the tumor's rare cervical location but also for its unusual presentation with contralateral vocal cord paralysis. It underscores the importance of considering ganglioneuroma in the differential diagnosis of pediatric neck masses and highlights the critical role of histopathological confirmation in guiding management.
