The Relevance of Preoperative Identification of the Adamkiewicz Artery in Posterior Mediastinal Pediatric Tumors.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06798532 (Interest of Preoperative Arteriography to Identify the Adamkiewicz Artery Before Surgery for Basi-thoracic Neuroblastic Tumors), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundInjury to the artery of Adamkiewicz (AKA) during surgery may lead to spinal cord ischemia and severe neurologic complications. Posterior mediastinal tumors may be adjacent to AKA, but data on preoperative visualization of AKA in children are rare. This study analyzed the importance of identifying the AKA preoperatively by spinal digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in children with posterior mediastinal tumors for therapeutic procedure.
methodsBetween 2002 and 2021, 36 children with posterior mediastinal tumors were evaluated for surgery at the authors' clinic. In 10 children with left-sided or bilateral tumor located at vertebral levels T8 to L1, spinal DSA was performed during preoperative workup to assess AKA. The patient and tumor characteristics as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures were analyzed.
resultsThe median age of the 10 children at examination was 69 months (range, 16-217 months). Three of the children were younger than 2 years. The tumor entities were neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, local relapse of a hepatocellular carcinoma, and neurofibroma. The AKA was identified in all cases, and proximity to the tumor was detected in four patients, three of whom had their planned surgery changed to irradiation. No complications occurred during spinal DSA or surgery.
conclusionsIn posterior mediastinal pediatric tumors, spinal DSA is a safe and reliable method for preoperative visualization of the AKA. It can show proximity to the tumor and guide the local therapy, thereby avoiding critical intra- and postoperative situations.
