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

objectiveTo investigate the surgical method for primary malignant osseous tumors in the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) and its effectiveness.

methodsThe clinical data of 7 patients with primary malignant osseous spinal tumors in CVJ, which collected between September 2010 and April 2019, were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 males and 2 females, aged 23 to 75 years (median, 56 years). All patients were diagnosed as chordoma in 4 cases, plasmacytoma in 2 cases, and fibrosarcoma in 1 case. The disease duration ranged from 0.7 to 36.0 months, with an average of 12.2 months. Lesion location: 1 case of C

resultsThe operation time was 307-695 minutes (mean, 489.57 minutes), and the intraoperative blood loss was 400-2 000 mL (mean, 1 107.14 mL). There was no intraoperative injury in vertebral artery and spinal cord or any related postoperative complications, including incision infection, intracranial infection, and pulmonary infection. All the patients were followed up 3-57 months (mean, 21 months). Postoperative X-ray film and CT showed that the internal fixation screw was firm and in a satisfactory position, and the bone graft was fused at 3-6 months after operation. Symptoms such as neck pain, limb numbness, and fatigue relieved to different degrees after operation. At 3 months after operation, the VAS score improved to 1.7±0.8 (

conclusionPrimary malignant osseous tumors in the CVJ can be completely exercised via means of trabsoral or submandibular approach. Meanwhile the anterior reconstruction can be achieved by placing special Cage specimen. These two methods together with postoperative adjuvant treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy can improve the survival time of patients and reduce tumor recurrence.
