Diagnostic and surgical management of the first reported case of bilateral schwannomas of seminal vesicle at a single center.

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
Background: Schwannomas are benign tumors originating from Schwann cells and are rarely found in the seminal vesicles. Due to their deep pelvic location and nonspecific symptoms, these tumors are often discovered incidentally during imaging or physical examinations. We report a rare case of bilateral schwannomas of seminal vesicle in an asymptomatic 68-year-old male, highlighting the diagnostic and treatment of such uncommon tumors. Case presentation: This case describes the successful diagnosis and management of bilateral schwannomas of seminal vesicle in an asymptomatic elderly male. Laparoscopic resection achieved complete tumor removal with no perioperative complications. Short-term follow-up showed favorable recovery and no evidence of recurrence. Conclusion: Schwannomas of seminal vesicle is a rare, slow-growing disease with an insidious onset and low incidence, most commonly affecting middle-aged and elderly men. More than 40% of patients are asymptomatic. The tumor occurs with approximately equal frequency on either side, while bilateral involvement is exceedingly rare. Lesions are predominantly solid, and minimally invasive surgery-either laparoscopic or robotic-is the preferred treatment approach. The overall prognosis is favorable, and to date, no cases of recurrence or malignant transformation have been reported.
