Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Schwannoma: 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. 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
Generally, less than half of neurogenic tumors are found in the head and neck region. Within that distinction, the majority of them originate from a branch of the superior laryngeal nerve in the neck. Schwannomas are benign tumors arising from Schwann cells, which form the myelin sheath of peripheral nerves. In the medical literature, evidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve schwannomas is sparse. This report describes the case of a 77-year-old woman with a history of multinodular goiter and primary hyperparathyroidism. During parathyroid exploration, an isolated schwannoma was incidentally found arising from the left recurrent laryngeal nerve. The lesion was confirmed by intraoperative nerve stimulation. To avoid vocal cord paralysis, the tumor was not resected. The patient was managed conservatively and remained asymptomatic over six years, with stable tumor size on imaging. This case highlights the importance of identifying rare neurogenic tumors during neck surgery and weighing surgical risks against functional outcomes.
