Giant thoracolumbar intraspinal schwannoma: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Radiology 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
Nerve sheath tumors account for approximately 30% of all spinal cord tumors, with schwannomas and neurofibromas being the most common types. These benign lesions often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size sufficient to compress adjacent neural structures. We present a case of a giant thoracolumbar intraspinal schwannoma successfully resected with no recurrence at 13 month follow-up. A 73-year-old Asian woman with controlled hypertension presented with a 2 year history of progressive low back pain, bilateral lower limb numbness, and weakness. MRI revealed an intradural extramedullary tumor extending from T10 to L1. The patient underwent T10-T12 total laminectomy with complete tumor resection and posterolateral bone grafting. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry (S100+, SOX10+) confirmed schwannoma. No recurrence was observed at 13 months postoperatively. Complete microsurgical resection of giant thoracolumbar intraspinal schwannoma is safe and effective. Longterm follow-up is recommended to monitor for recurrence.
