Primary Low-Grade Astrocytoma of the Spine With Secondary Cerebral Metastasis: A Case Report and Comprehensive Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
An astrocytoma is a subclassification of glioma, with primary spinal manifestations accounting for less than 10% of all spinal cord tumors, with the majority encompassing low-grade features. It is even more uncommon for such lesions to demonstrate intracerebral metastasis. We report such an occurrence in a 39-year-old female who initially presented with an intramedullary and intradural mass from T10-L1, as well as secondary metastasis to the mesial right temporal lobe and cerebellum upon clinical follow-up. Surgical resection of the spine and subsequent temporal lobe biopsy confirmed high-grade glioma. Given the rarity and poor prognosis of spinal gliomas with cerebral metastasis, we also summarize all previously reported cases to date. We recommend that physicians maintain an index of suspicion for spinal gliomas in young patients with cord compression related symptoms outside the event of traumatic injury.
