Radiation-induced cavernous malformation within a vestibular schwannoma: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Cavernous malformations are a well-described complication of intracranial radiation; however, have only once previously been described within a vestibular schwannoma following radiotherapy. We report a case of a 78-year-old woman presenting with new hemifacial spasm 16-years following fractionated radiotherapy for a vestibular schwannoma, with imaging suggesting the formation of a cavernous malformation within the tumor. The patient underwent translabyrinthine resection, with final pathology confirming the diagnosis of a cavernous malformation within the vestibular schwannoma. This case highlights the need to maintain a broad differential in patients with new symptoms following radiotherapy for vestibular schwannomas, including hemifacial spasm. Cavernous malformations should be considered among potential radiation-related complications in patients with vestibular schwannoma.
