1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundSchwannomas are rare mesenchymal tumors and represent the most frequent benign nerve tumor in the retroperitoneum.

resultsA five-port laparoscopic approach was used. Following right colic mobilization and extended Kocher maneuver, the lesion was exposed. Dissection along an avascular plane allowed safe separation from the inferior vena cava and left renal vein, preserving the superior mesenteric artery. Operative time was 200 minutes with 200 mL blood loss and no intraoperative complications. Recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 5. Pathology confirmed a 4.5 cm schwannoma with negative margins. At 1-year follow-up, the patient is disease free.

conclusionsLaparoscopic resection of retroperitoneal schwannomas abutting major vascular structures is feasible and safe in carefully selected patients when performed in specialized centers.
