Outcomes of Surgery for Sacral Chordoma and Impact of Complications: A Report of 50 Consecutive Patients With Long-Term Follow-Up.
Article in Global spine journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
STUDY
designRetrospective case series.
objectiveTo determine predictive factors of overall survival (OS) and local recurrence (LR), report complications, and assess the impact of complications on survival, recurrence, and function in patients undergoing en bloc resection of sacral chordoma.
methodsThis retrospective case series was obtained from a prospective database (1995-2016). All patients underwent en bloc resection of sacral chordoma. Demographic, perioperative, and complication data were collected. Outcomes included: overall survival(OS), local recurrence(LR), and complications. Survival analysis with multivariable cox regression was performed.
resultsAmong 50 patients, median follow-up was 5.3 years (range = 1.3-17.2). The majority (82%) underwent a negative margin resection.
conclusionsNegative margin resection was associated with decreased LR. Neither major complication nor reoperation significantly impacted OS, LR, or functional outcome. Though additional studies are needed, it appears that despite the morbidity associated with sacral chordoma resection, the long-term clinical outcomes are favorable.
