Thoracic aggressive vertebral hemangioma with neurologic deficit: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Medicine, 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
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness in the treatment of thoracic aggressive vertebral hemangiomas (AVHs) with neurologic deficit by multiple surgical treatments.The clinical and radiographic data of 5 patients suffering from thoracic AVHs with neurologic deficit and treated by multiple surgical treatments, including percutaneous curved vertebroplasty (PCVP) combined with pedicle screw fixation and decompressive laminectomy, were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively.Five patients (3 women and 2 man, with a mean age of 57.40 ± 11.93) were diagnosed with AVHs from July 2010 to April 2016. All of them had objective neurologic deficit, myelopathy, and back pain. They underwent multiple surgical treatments and were followed-up for 12 to 23 months. At final follow-up, Frankel Grade D was achieved in all 5 patients. Patients were free from pain and neurologic symptoms, and the functional status was improved. No major complication was found.The treatment of AVHs with neurologic deficit is a challenge for surgeons. PCVP combined with pedicle screw fixation and decompressive laminectomy is safe and effective, and can be used for AVHs with neurologic deficit. Further studies with more samples are required to validate the effectiveness and safety of PCVP combined with pedicle screw fixation and decompressive laminectomy.
