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

Schwannomas of the oral cavity are rare benign tumors, with the tongue being the most frequently affected site. This case describes a 22-year-old male presenting with a large, well-circumscribed mass on the dorsum of the tongue that remained entirely asymptomatic despite its considerable size. Clinical examination and non-contrast computed tomography revealed a localized hypodense lesion without infiltration. Complete transoral excision was performed, and histopathological analysis demonstrated classic Antoni A and B patterns with Verocay bodies, confirming the diagnosis of schwannoma. Postoperative healing was uneventful, with no functional deficits or recurrence during follow-up. This case highlights the importance of considering schwannoma in the differential diagnosis of tongue masses, as the clinical features may resemble fibroma, neurofibroma, or other benign soft-tissue tumors. Early identification and complete surgical removal ensure an excellent prognosis and preservation of tongue function.
