1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 three major schwannomatosis genes, NF2, LZTR1 and SMARCB1, are all located within approximately 9 megabases on chromosome 22 and cause three genetically distinct conditions with significant clinical phenotypic overlap. All forms of schwannomatosis predispose to the development of multiple schwannomas, but display differences in tumour location and long-term prognosis. In addition, high levels of mosaic disease can complicate clinical diagnosis. Genetic diagnosis can be critical for distinguishing between the three conditions to optimise clinical management, especially in cases of mosaic disease. This review summarises the distinctions between the clinical and genetic characteristics of each form of schwannomatosis and discusses the genetic analytic tools that are typically used to detect the variants found in these conditions.
