Surgical management of giant neurofibroma in a pediatric patient: A case report.
Article in Science progress. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Neurofibromas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors that occur in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1. In pediatric patients, giant neurofibromas pose significant management challenges due to their large size and potential to cause functional impairments. Given their characteristic radiation resistance, indolent growth, and limited chemosensitivity, surgical intervention is frequently required to alleviate tumor-related symptoms, restore function, and mitigate complications. The two primary surgical difficulties are the high recurrence rates resulting from the infiltrative nature of giant neurofibromas and the risk of massive intraoperative hemorrhage. This case report details the surgical management of a pediatric giant neurofibroma, highlighting the multidisciplinary strategy and operative techniques employed to achieve optimal results.
