Sagittal en bloc resection of primary tumors in the thoracic and lumbar spine: feasibility, safety and outcome.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
This study is to test feasibility, safety and the outcome of sagittal en bloc resection of paravertebral primary tumors in the thoracic and the lumbar spine. Sagittal en bloc resection was planned based on WBB classification and performed via combined anterior-posterior or anterior-posterior-lateral approach in 9 consecutive patients with aggressive benign or malignant paravertebral primary tumors in the thoracic and lumbar spine. Surgical margins were evaluated both radiologically and histopathologically. Follow-up data regarding survival rate, local control, morbidity, hardware failure and postoperative function were collected at around 2 years after surgery. En bloc resection was achieved in all patient with wide margin in 7/9 patients, marginal and intralesional margin in 2/9 patients. Survival rate and local control rate were 100%. There were 4/9 cases of major complications and 2/9 cases of minor complications with an overall morbidity rate of 67% (6/9). All but one patient with intraoperative spinal cord injury were free of neurological deficits and fully mobile in absence of any indication of hardware failure. With a careful choice of surgical procedure, sagittal en bloc resection of paravertebral primary tumor in the thoracic and lumbar spine is feasible, safe and effective.
