Pregnancy-induced growth of a spinal hemangioblastoma: presumed mechanisms and their implications for therapeutic approaches.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hemangioblastomas are benign tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) that may occur either sporadically or as part of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, in which they coexist with a series of other tumors outside the CNS. Because of their low mitosis rate, hemangioblastomas usually have slow-growing and late manifestations, but may cause sudden neurological symptoms if tumor hemorrhage occurs. Few studies have evaluated the impact of pregnancy on the evolution of hemangioblastomas. Some authors have reported tumor growth in women with VHL disease, but no such association was observed by others. The influence of pregnancy on sporadic hemangioblastomas remains largely unexplored. We report here the case of a pregnant woman whose first manifestation of sporadic spinal hemangioblastoma was life-threatening, rapidly progressive dysautonomia. In addition, we discuss the role of pregnancy in the triggering of symptoms, as well as the possibility of medically indicated delivery for the management of these tumors.
