Giant petroclival primary intradural chordoma: case report and systematic review of the literature.
Article in Journal of neurological surgery reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Background Chordomas are rare, locally aggressive neoplasms thought to arise from notochordal remnants in the axial skeleton. Primary intradural chordomas are considered to be extremely rare. In this article a giant intradural petroclival chordoma is presented, and a synthesis of the available literature is performed to measure overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and to identify prognostic factors. Methods A systematic Medline review yielded 47 patients with purely intradural tumors from 38 publications including 39 chordomas, 8 cases of ecchordosis physaliphora, and 1 case with features of both. The 5-year OS and RFS were calculated based on the Kaplan-Meier method. Risk factors for progression or mortality were analyzed using binomial logistic regression. Results Maximal tumor diameter varied from 1.5 to 6.0 cm (mean: 3.2 cm). Tumors were located predominantly in the prepontine area (66.7%). Combined 5-year Kaplan-Meier OS and RFS were 77% ± 11% and 74% ± 11%, respectively. Incomplete surgical resection, larger tumor diameter, and an elevated Ki-67 index were statistically more frequent in cases of recurrence and mortality. Conclusions Based on a systematic literature review, the behavior of primary intradural chordomas may be closer to typical chordomas than was previously thought.
