Active Conservative Management of Primary Spinal Syringomyelia: A Scoping Review and Perspectives for an Activity-based Clinical Approach.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveThis scoping review aimed to identify and synthesize existing research on active conservative management of primary spinal syringomyelia and associated symptoms and to discuss perspectives for clinical application using an activity-based approach.
methodsPubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched for empirical studies of conservative management or therapies of adults with primary spinal syringomyelia from inception to April 2021. In addition, abstracts from relevant conferences were searched. Study characteristics and key findings were extracted, and findings descriptively synthesized.
resultsOf 1,186 studies screened, 7 studies met the eligibility criteria (4 single case studies and 3 cohort studies, a total of 90 individuals). The interventions were primarily physiotherapeutic, mostly by posture correction and exercises, and effects were alleviation of pain, improved physical function, improved activities of daily living and quality of life. Analysis of factors triggering symptoms and rationale for choice of intervention based upon these was limited.
conclusionEvidence of active conservative management of primary spinal syringomyelia and associated symptoms is limited. Many variations and limitations in the existing research limit the conclusions. High-quality research is needed to enable healthcare professionals to apply evidencebased active conservative interventions.
