Vestibular schwannomas and papilledema without hydrocephalus: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Vestibular Schwannomas are frequent tumors of the cerebellopontine angle, classically presenting with cochlear and facial nerve alteration. They tend to have histopathological and intratumoral degeneration seen on MRI, and can cause CSF obstruction with hydrocephalus with subsequent visual loss. We present a case of bilateral visual loss from papilledema, with no history of hydrocephalus or increased intracranial pressure. CSF analysis showed isolated hyperproteinorrachia with no sign of infection or meningitis. This case report reviews current understanding of CSF physiology, including flow within the optic nerve sheath, which is a CSF reservoir with outflow through the complex glymphatic system. Multiple aquaporins regulate optic nerve CSF flow, responsible for the intense metabolic product washdown from the retinal apparatus. Aquaporin activity is susceptible to up-regulation or down-regulation from CSF content, such as in the complexity of certain Vestibular Schwannomas, as seen on molecular and histopathological analysis in other studies.
