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
introductionThis study evaluated the intra- and post-surgical complications on tumor affected spines. Complications were analyzed according to selected patient groups so that risk factors could be determined. MATERIAL AND
methodsBetween January 1999 and December 2004, 401 patients underwent surgery because of spinal metastases in the Department of Traumatology, General Hospital St. Georg in Hamburg. Data were obtained from the hospital's documentary system. The results of this study were compared to other published studies.
resultsThe average age of patients was 63 years (24-88) and there were 172 (42.9%) females and 229 (57.1%) males. A total of 118 (29.4%) patients suffered from 235 complications and 22 (5.5%) died. DISCUSSION: Patient's age >70 years, patients with a preoperative neurological deficit, and patients with heavily bleeding metastases are at high risk for complications. The dorsoventral/dorsolateral approach had the highest complication rate.
