Totally Cystic Schwannoma in the Lumbar Spine: A Case Report.
Article in Advanced biomedical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Totally cystic schwannomas are a rare condition described in the current case report. A 63-year-old woman with chronic lower back pain radiating to her left lower extremity was primarily managed incorrectly. Her magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed, presenting an intradural cystic mass at L2-L3 with approximately 23 × 16 × 18 mm size and characteristics of hypointense and hyperintense views on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), and T2WI, respectively. Additionally, Gadolinium-contrasted images showed a smooth and thin rim enhancement of the cyst. These characteristics were compatible with cystic schwannoma. Accordingly, L2-L3 laminectomy was done and the tumor was excised. The pathological study approved the diagnosis. At the 16-month follow-up, the patient experienced symptom relief with no sign of recurrence. Cystic schwannomas are rare benign tumors that can cause debilitating symptoms if not promptly diagnosed and treated. Contrast-enhanced MRI is essential for diagnosing these tumors, and surgical resection is the choice of treatment.
