Isolated aneurysms of the spinal circulation: a systematic review of the literature.
Synthesis in Neurosurgical review, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Aneurysms arising in the spinal circulation are rare and underreported. The objective of this study was to systematically review the English literature on different aspects of isolated spinal aneurysms using the PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Google Scholar databases. Eighty-two papers reporting 107 individual patient cases were included. Most isolated spinal aneurysms have a fusiform morphology, and are most commonly found in the anterior spinal artery at the thoracic or cervical levels. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is the most common form of presentation, and sudden onset back pain is the most common initial symptom. The diagnosis of spinal aneurysms requires a high degree of clinical suspicion. Because of their small size, they can be missed on CT/MR angiography and spinal angiogram may be employed. Treatment of spinal aneurysms should be individualized on a case-by-case basis. Conservative management can be a valid option in spinal aneurysms where the risk of treatment is high. Surgical or endovascular intervention may be indicated in cases of significant or progressive neurologic decline due aneurysmal mass effect, or progressive growth of the aneurysm despite conservative treatment.
