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

Sacral giant cell tumor (GCT) is a rare entity. It often presents late after massive enlargement of tumor. Here we are reporting a case of sacral GCT treated successfully at our institute. A 30-year-old male patient presented with paraplegia, significant sensory disturbance below L2 level, along with severe vesicorectal dysfunction. On imaging, giant mass was seen filling the sacrum with homogenous enhancement and flow voids from L5 level to S4 level. The patient underwent surgical exploration with L4-5 decompressive laminectomy, near-total resection of tumor, and lumboiliac fixation. The patient recovered symptomatically in postoperative period. Sacral GCT is a rare but treatable lesion. Its presentation as sudden cauda equina syndrome is rare, but final management should be aggressive with en bloc resection and fixation.
