Multidimensional, patient-reported outcome after posterior fossa decompression in 79 patients with Chiari malformation type I.
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 5 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
backgroundWe studied patient-reported outcome among patients who underwent posterior fossa decompression (PFD) for Chiari malformation type I (CM-I).
methodsWe interviewed patients who underwent PFD for CM-I from 1995 to 2016.
resultsA total of 79 patients were interviewed. The median age at surgery was 30 years (range 5-72 years) with 27 pediatric patients. Forty-six patients had syringomyelia (36 adults and 10 pediatric patients). Fifty-four patients (68%) reported at least some improvement, 46 (58%) important improvement, 13 (16%) worsening, and 12 stabilization (15%). Any improvement as well as important improvement were significantly more often reported in the nonsyringomyelia group (85% vs. 57%,
conclusionIn CM-I patients, PFD offers symptom improvement in about two-thirds of patients with high patient satisfaction. Symptom improvement is significantly higher in patients without associated syringomyelia, but patient satisfaction is similar. Symptom worsening is more frequent in the adult than in the pediatric population, with similar rates of postoperative improvement and patient satisfaction.
