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
Spinal intramedullary metastasis is an extremely rare event that occurs in advanced cancer. The surgical indications for spinal intramedullary metastasis are highly limited because of surgical difficulty and poor prognosis. In this technical case report, we present a rare case of spinal intramedullary metastasis from the lung that recurred late after local radiation to the spinal cord. The patient progressively experienced relapsed buttock pain and developed gait and urination disorders late after treatment for lung cancer. Imaging examinations suggested the recurrence of spinal intramedullary metastasis in the conus medullaris. Systemic examinations revealed no apparent recurrence in other organs, including the primary lung lesions. Gross total resection of the tumor within the conus medullaris was safely performed using the unilateral posterolateral (PLS) approach and by addition of the contralateral PLS approach. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in which a spinal intramedullary metastatic tumor was successfully removed using a bilateral PLS approach.
