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
purposeAdamantinoma is a low-grade primary malignant bone tumour with slow growth and local recurrence. Its occurrence in the spine is extremely rare, particularly with multilevel involvement. This paper wants to present the first case involving a patient with recurrent thoracolumbar spinal adamantinoma, who underwent a successful three-level spondylectomy for en bloc resection.
methodsA 24-year-old man with osteolytic masses of T11 and T12 vertebral bodies was performed curettage by a posterior approach in 2008. The pathology report showed the excised neoplasm was a rare adamantinoma. This patient underwent a tumorectomy again because of its local recurrence nearly 3 years later. In 2012, it was unfortunately revealed that the excised tumour had relapsed and had spread to the L1 vertebral body. Due to its repeated recurrence and aggressive lesion, total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) for this malignant tumour was thought to be the best option for preventing repeated recurrence and possible cure. TES for T11-L1 thoracolumbar spine was performed and spinal reconstruction was completed with instrumentation and a titanium mesh cage through a one-stage single posterior approach.
resultsAfter three-level TES, neurological deficits of the patient demonstrated good recovery and no evidence of adamantinoma recurrence or deformity was found at 2-year follow-up.
conclusionsThis is the first case involving multilevel thoracolumbar spinal adamantinoma with repeated recurrence to be successfully treated by three-level TES by a single posterior approach.
