Laparoscopic resection of an incidental retroperitoneal schwannoma in a 74-year-old male: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Background: This case report highlights a rare retroperitoneal schwannoma in a 74-year-old male, discovered incidentally during a routine physical exam. Schwannomas in the retroperitoneum are uncommon and often present unique diagnostic and management challenges. Case summary: The patient, a 74-year-old male with hypertension, presented with an incidental finding of a retroperitoneal mass (3.0 x 2.5 cm) on abdominal CT. Further imaging and histopathology confirmed a schwannoma. A laparoscopic resection was performed with no major complications, and the mass was confirmed to be benign with hemorrhagic and cystic degeneration. The patient recovered uneventfully post-surgery and was discharged with recommendations for long-term monitoring. Conclusion: This case underscores the value of early detection through imaging and the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery for retroperitoneal.
