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

En-bloc resection of spinal tumours is a complex procedure with significant morbidity and mortality. The extensive resection leaves a large soft tissue and osseous defect requiring reconstruction. Following en-bloc resection, there may be complications relating to both the removal of the tumour and the subsequent reconstruction. This paper outlines the imaging appearances of the frequently encountered complications in our experience. The primary aim is to improve the confidence of the radiologist when reporting imaging following spinal en-bloc resection, however we believe this is also useful for the spinal and orthopaedic surgeons in assessing the patients following en block resection.
