Incidental Parasternal Ancient Schwannoma Detected During Breast Cancer Screening.
Article in Journal of clinical practice and research, 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
Background: Schwannoma is a rare, slow-growing nerve sheath tumor that is infrequently reported in the anterior chest wall and requires thorough evaluation for accurate identification and appropriate treatment. Case Report: We describe a case of a 57-year-old woman with an incidentally discovered parasternal ancient schwannoma of the anterior chest wall during breast cancer screening. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a well-defined soft tissue mass located in the right third intercostal space. Surgical excision was performed via right anterior thoracotomy. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ancient schwannoma. The patient experienced an eventful postoperative recovery, with no recurrence observed during two years of follow-up. Conclusion: Anterior chest wall schwannomas are rare incidental findings. Accurate imaging and complete surgical excision are essential for diagnosis and management, ensuring favorable outcomes and highlighting the importance of timely recognition of these uncommon tumors.
