Rare incidental retroperitoneal schwannoma discovered as an adrenal mass upon pre-renal transplant workup: case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Schwannomas are benign tumors originating from Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system. They can occur anywhere in the body but are typically located in the head, neck, and flexor surfaces of the extremities. Retroperitoneal schwannoma is sporadic and accounts for only 4% of all retroperitoneal tumors and 3% of all schwannomas. The lesion was incidentally discovered in most patients upon investigation for another reason. We are reporting a case of a patient known to have hypertension, which was complicated by end-stage renal disease, and she started on hemodialysis in 2021. The patient planned for a kidney transplant, and a pre-renal transplant workup showed incidental findings of an adrenal mass. Further imaging and investigation revealed a non-functioning tumor. She planned for a laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Intraoperatively, the mass was retroperitoneal, close to the adrenal gland but not arising from it. Postoperative histopathology revealed a Schwannoma.
