Radiation-induced glioblastoma of the conus medullaris from radiation treatment of cervical cancer.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Radiation-induced spinal glioblastoma is an extremely rare disease with only four previously published reports in the literature. We report the fifth case, a 69-year-old woman who previously underwent treatment with brachytherapy for cervical cancer, and thereafter presented with neurologic deficits from a conus medullaris tumour. Biopsy and histopathology confirm glioblastoma, not otherwise specified. Treatment of spinal glioblastoma consists of surgery, either biopsy or excision and chemoradiation. However, results are still unsatisfactory and prognosis remains poor.
