Cecal schwannoma: A case report and literature review.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 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
Schwannomas are slow-growing tumors originating from Schwann cells and are rarely found in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the cecum. We report the case of a 59-year-old man who had recurrent diarrhea and was found to have a mass in the cecum during endoscopic examination. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed a slightly hypodense, homogeneous mass in the cecum with moderate enhancement. The tumor was laparoscopically resected. Histopathological examination indicated spindle-shaped tumor cells arranged in a fascicular or palisading pattern, with minimal cellular atypia and rare mitotic figures. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for S100 and SOX10. The final pathological diagnosis was schwannoma. The patient was followed up for 34 months postoperatively without recurrence or metastasis. Cecal schwannoma is a rare benign neoplasm. We present this case and review the clinical and imaging features of previously reported cases of cecal schwannoma to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve clinicians' understanding of this uncommon tumor.
