Syringomyelia resolution after anterior cervical discectomy: A case report and literature review.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSyringomyelia is rarely associated with cervical disc herniations and/or spinal stenosis. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 62-year-old male presented with a 4-month history of right brachial pain and hyposensitivity in the C5 distribution. The cervical magnetic resonance (MR) imaging scan revealed a C5-C6 right anterolateral disc herniation with syringomyelia extending from C5-C6 to T1. Following a C5-C6 anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), the patient's symptoms resolved. The 3-month postoperative MR documented total resolution of the syrinx. Notably, due to residual neuropathic pain, the patient required a subdural spinal cord stimulator which was placed without any complications.
conclusionSyringomyelia rarely occurs in conjunction with cervical disc disease and stenosis, and even more infrequently resolves following an ACDF. Future research should focus on the etiology of syrinx formation in these patients and should explore their response to various treatment modalities.
