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

Angiolipomas are rare primary benign tumors that can arise in the epidural canal and cause stenosis. Of the few cases of spinal angiolipomas described, most lesions have been located in the thoracic spine, and presentation of angiolipoma in the lumbar spine is very rare. The surgical management of a 39-year-old morbidly obese woman with angiolipoma that caused stenosis with neurogenic claudication and urinary changes is described. The lesion spanned L1-L2 and surgical management consisted of T12-L2 laminectomy and en-bloc resection of the lesion. During the latest follow-up, four years after the surgery, the patient's neurological symptoms showed improvement and there was no recurrence.
