Updates in the management of intradural spinal cord tumors: a radiation oncology focus.
Review in Neuro-oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Primary spinal cord tumors represent a hetereogeneous group of central nervous system malignancies whose management is complex given the relatively uncommon nature of the disease and variety of tumor subtypes, functional neurologic deficits from the tumor, and potential morbidities associated with definitive treatment. Advances in neuroimaging; integration of diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive molecular testing into tumor classification; and developments in neurosurgical techniques have refined the current role of radiotherapy in the multimodal management of patients with primary spinal cord tumors, and corroborated the need for prospective, multidisciplinary discussion and treatment decision making. Radiotherapeutic technological advances have dramatically improved the entire continuum from treatment planning to treatment delivery, and the development of stereotactic radiosurgery and proton radiotherapy provides new radiotherapy options for patients treated in the definitive, adjuvant, or salvage setting. The objective of this comprehensive review is to provide a contemporary overview of the management of primary intradural spinal cord tumors, with a focus on radiotherapy.
