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

This case report highlights a rare malignant transformation of a cervical intranodal schwannoma in a 46-year-old man. The patient first came in with a slow-growing, painless nodule in the right neck. Surgical excision was performed and histopathological examinations revealed a benign intranodal cellular schwannoma. Eighteen months later, the mass recurred and a second surgery showed malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) at the same site, confirming malignant transformation. This case adds to the limited knowledge of this rare event.
