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
objectiveThis study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive microsurgical resection of intraspinal tumors with the aid of Caspar retractors. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 125 intraspinal tumor patients with lesions smaller than 6 cm, who were treated at the Neurosurgery Department of our hospital from March 2010 to March 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. Among these, 73 patients underwent microsurgical resection of intraspinal tumors with the aid of Caspar retractors, while 52 patients underwent conventional laminectomy for resection of intraspinal tumors. Relevant indicators between both groups of patients were compared, including length of surgical incision, duration of surgery, postoperative drainage volume, time to first out-of-bed activity after surgery, postoperative hospitalization period, visual analog score (VAS) score, and Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, at 1 month after surgery.
resultsCompared with the conventional laminectomy group, patients who underwent microsurgical resection with the aid of Caspar retractors had better outcomes in terms of length of surgical incision, postoperative drainage volume, time to first out-of-bed activity after surgery, postoperative hospitalization period, and VAS scores (p < 0.05). However, JOA scores at 1 month after surgery did not have any significant differences (p > 0.05).
conclusionsThe microsurgical resection of intraspinal tumors with the aid of Caspar retractors has advantages of small trauma, less bleeding, and faster recovery. It is a safe and efficacious method for treating small intraspinal tumors.
