Schwannoma of the Great Auricular Nerve: A Rare Entity.
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
Schwannoma of the great auricular nerve is an extremely rare benign tumor. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman who developed a slow-growing right lateral neck mass four years ago. Ultrasound scan and computed tomography were performed, and the mass was diagnosed as a cyst. Complete surgical removal was performed, and the histological report was consistent with a schwannoma. Postoperatively, the patient developed numbness of the ipsilateral auricle. Follow-up showed no recurrence, and the numbness improved. Although rare, schwannomas should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of tumors located in the course of the nerves of the neck, and surgical treatment should be discussed with the patient.
