Extradural en-plaque spinal lipomatous meningioma: 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 6 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
backgroundExtradural spinal meningiomas are rare, and few appear as lipomatous meningiomas in an "en-plaque" form. The transitional fibroblastic subtype, with lipid accumulation within the tumoral cells, is typically more aggressive and surgically challenging to resect. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 42-year-old male presented with neck pain and progressive paresthesias in both upper extremities. Based on the radiological findings, the tentative preoperative diagnosis was lymphoma. However, the biopsy confirmed a meningioma. The patient underwent a combined extradural anterior and posterior approach, resulting in full tumor resection. Histopathologically, the final report documented a lipomatous meningioma.
conclusionExtradural spinal lipomatous meningiomas (i.e., "en-plaque") are rare and typically result in rapid clinical deterioration. The radiological diagnosis may be difficult, while ultrasonography helps to define their extradural location facilitating planning for gross total anterior/posterior excision where indicated.
