In one paragraph

Review in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWith evolution of medicine, radiation therapy and surgical methods, cancer care has improved the quality of life for patients with improved survival and functional status in patients with skeletal metastasis. The most common site of skeletal metastases from other primary malignant neoplasms is the spine, hence, understanding the epidemiology of metastatic spine disease and its presentation is essential for developing a diagnostic and treatment strategy which eventually results in optimum care to reduce disease-related morbidity. PURPOSE: With this review article we intend to describe an evidence-based review on the presentation, diagnosis and treatment of metastatic spinal disease.

methodsWe reviewed the current available literature on management of spinal metastasis and have described a step wise evaluation and management strategy of metastatic spine disease.

conclusionThe present review article addresses various aspects and related controversies related to evaluation, staging and treatment options in the management of spinal metastasis.
