Intercostal aneurysm causing spinal cord compression in an NF1 patient.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe authors illustrate a case where an intercostal aneurysm was observed in a patient with type 1 neurofibromatosis.
methodsA 32-year-old man with NF1 presented with thoracic back pain. The patient's symptoms progressed to include myelopathic symptoms, including difficulty urinating, numbness in the lower extremities, and increased weakness. Imaging revealed what appeared to be a neurofibroma at the T4-T5 level and a plan to resect the mass was formulated. Upon initial limited hemilaminotomy, significant arterial blood was encountered. The patient was then taken to the interventional suite and angiography was performed, revealing a left T4 intercostal aneurysm. The aneurysm was coil-embolized with no residual filling.
resultsBy 6 months post-surgery, the patient had regained full strength and sensation in his lower extremities and no longer had difficulty urinating. There has been no recurrence of symptoms 3 years postoperatively.
conclusionsIntercostal artery lesions must be considered as a possible diagnosis in NF1.
