Solid haemangioblastomas of the CNS: a review of 17 consecutive cases.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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
A retrospective study on solid central nervous system haemangioblastomas was performed to characterize clinical features, treatment strategies and outcome in these rare lesions. Between 1993 and 2006 23, solid haemangioblastomas were surgically removed in 17 patients. Eight lesions were located within pons Varolii and medulla oblongata, six within the cerebellar hemispheres and three in the cerebellopontine angle. Three haemangioblastomas were located supratentorially and three within the spinal cord. All patients except two underwent pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Post-operative digital subtraction angiography and/or MRI was performed in all surviving patients. Except for spinal cord lesions, rather unsystematic clinical symptoms were observed. Twenty-two tumours could be resected completely. Two patients with brainstem lesions died within 10 weeks after surgery from infectious complications. Persistent new neurological deficits occurred in two patients. Three patients underwent radiosurgery prior to or following the surgical procedure. Solid haemangioblastomas represent a surgical challenge due to their arteriovenous malformation-like vascularisation and their frequent location in eloquent areas. Surgery is the therapy of choice. Circumferential dissection with devascularization and en bloc removal yields good functional results. A location within the brainstem carries the most unfavourable prognosis.
