Treatment of Metastatic Spinal Disease; what the Radiologist needs to know.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Advancements in technology and multidisciplinary management have revolutionized the treatment of spinal metastases. Imaging plays a pivotal role in determining the treatment course for spinal metastases. This article aims to review the relevant imaging findings in spinal metastases from the perspective of the treating clinician, describe the various treatment options, and discuss factors influencing choice for each available treatment option. Cases that once required radical surgical resection or low-dose conventional external beam radiation therapy, or both, are now being managed with separation surgery, spine stereotactic radiosurgery/stereotactic body radiation therapy, or both, with decreased morbidity, improved local control, and more durable pain control. The primary focus in determining treatment choice is now on tumor control outcomes, treatment-related morbidity, and quality of life.
