Infra-clavicular approach to posterior cord brachial plexus schwannoma.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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: Brachial plexus schwannoma arising from the posterior cord is pretty rare. Approach to these tumors is not standardized. Case Description: A young male presenting with pain radiating along the left shoulder and subtle weakness of left shoulder abduction had a moderate-sized mass located in the infraclavicular region. Excision of the lesion was planned through the infraclavicular approach. Division of the pectoralis minor was done with retraction of the pectoralis major. Complete excision was done along with the infraclavicular component. Postoperative outcome was good with complete return of functionality of the arm. Histopathologically, the lesion was a benign schwannoma. Conclusion: Posterior cord Brachial Plexus Tumours are uncommon but can be easily approached via the infra-clavicular route with good outcomes.
