Huge multiple spinal extradural meningeal cysts in infancy.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2019. 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
backgroundMultiple spinal extradural meningeal cysts (SEMCs) are rare lesions. SEMCs communicate with the subarachnoid space through multiple dural defects and expand into the extradural space with progressive spinal cord compression. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 5-month-old boy with hydronephrosis involving nine huge SEMCs that were distributed from the T1-L5 levels. Eight SEMCs, except for one small noncommunicating cyst, were exposed through laminoplastic laminotomy at the T10-L5 and T3-5 levels. Five transdural communications with dural defects were packed with a piece of autologous muscle and fibrin glue. Tenting sutures to lift up the dura to the vertebral arch were added to minimize the extradural dead space. Postoperatively, cord compression was relieved and hydronephrosis improved.
conclusionIn conclusion, packing of all dural defects and dural tenting sutures at a one-staged operation is useful in the surgical management of huge and multiple SEMCs in infancy.
