Multiple intradural-extramedullary spinal ependymomas including tumors with different histological features.
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, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionWe report a rare case with multiple intradural-extramedullary spinal ependymomas with different histological features. CASE REPORT: A 26-year-old female presented to our hospital because of difficulty in walking due to progressive paresis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracic spinal cord showed multiple spinal cord tumors. Surgical resection of these tumors was performed and a different histological diagnosis including World Health Organization Grade III anaplastic ependymoma and Grade II ependymoma was obtained using the resected specimen. Additional radiotherapy and chemotherapy were also performed, and a successful outcome has been maintained for at least 3 years after surgery.
conclusionSurgical resections and subsequent radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cases with multiple intradural-extramedullary ependymomas can result in a good postoperative course.
