Case report: concurrent sigmoidectomy and schwannoma resection in a patient with recurrent diverticulitis.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
Benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors are growths that develop in the protective sheath that surround peripheral nerves. In rare circumstances, they can cause mass effect on surrounding structures intra-abdominally. We report an otherwise healthy 62-year-old female who presented for constipation and recurrent bouts of diverticulitis. The patient had known about her nerve sheath tumor but did not want it removed. The initial plan was to perform a robotic Sigmoidectomy; however, this was not feasible given the size of the tumor intra-operatively. The procedure was subsequently aborted. A multi-disciplinary team of vascular surgery, neurosurgery, and colorectal surgery then took the patient to the operating room for an open resection of the schwannoma and concurrent sigmoidectomy. There have only been several staged attempts described in the literature, but none that describe simultaneous resection of both the nerve sheath tumor and the sigmoid colon.
