Schwann Cells in Physical Nerve Injury and Tumor Perineural Invasion: A Functional Overview and Comparison.
Review in Cancer medicine, 2026. 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
The nervous system exhibits remarkable stability, making its repair challenging. Compared to the central nervous system, peripheral nerve injuries demonstrate a greater potential for regeneration. Schwann cells, the unique myelinating glial cells of the peripheral nervous system, possess striking plasticity and support nerve regeneration through phenotypic transformation following injury. While Schwann cells are essential for nerve regeneration after injury, in the context of tumors, their reparative function is exploited to facilitate perineural invasion and the progression of cancer. However, the tumor-promoting effect of Schwann cells is context-dependent, and emerging evidence suggests that under specific conditions, Schwann cells may exert tumor-suppressive functions. This article aims to explore the complex roles of Schwann cells in both physical nerve injury and tumor-induced nerve damage, comparing their similarities and differences and seeking to provide insights for future research and potential therapeutic interventions.
