A Case of Sacral Ancient Schwannoma Presenting With Abdominal Pain.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
We report the case of a female in her sixties presenting to secondary care with sudden-onset abdominal pain. Comprehensive laboratory and imaging investigations were performed, exploring a broad range of differential diagnoses. These ultimately revealed a rare manifestation of an ancient schwannoma located in her sacrum. This case contributes to the limited literature on schwannomas presenting outside the cranium and upper limbs and highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with atypical tumor locations. It serves as an important opportunity to reflect on clinical practice, for example, the work-up for abdominal pain and the value of different imaging modalities in such cases. It also exemplifies the varying difficulty faced between centers in accessing specialist investigations and demonstrates the patient experience.
