Sacral chordoma : A review of literature.
Review in Journal of orthopaedics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 36 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
Chordoma is a rare malignant tumor with predilection for the sacrum. A favorable outcome depends on early diagnosis and surgical excision with tumor free margins.
aimTo review the incidence and prevalence of sacral chordoma and the appropriate surgical management and formulate a criteria for early diagnosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty eight articles on the subject of sacral chordoma and extrapolated data of clinical and surgical significance.
resultsThe commonest presenting feature in patients with sacral chordoma was lower back pain which was worse on sitting and up to a third of these patients had associated urinary tract infections, constipation or symptoms of disc herniation. The hallmark of sacral chordoma is lower back pain with poor response to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.Disease free eradication in chordoma is rare and not without neurological deficit. The common sacral levels involved ie. S2,3 have to be sacrificed to achieve adequate margins4. Whilst wide excision via posterior surgery shows a decrease in recurrence, the overall survival still remains low.
