Acute Venous Congestive Myelopathy in a Patient with Neurosarcoidosis.
Article in Journal of neurological surgery reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
There is a range of differential diagnoses for intramedullary lesions of the conus medullaris, both neoplastic and non-neoplastic. There is a limited role for surgery in a large proportion of these diagnoses, and operative risks can outweigh any benefits of surgery. Here a case is presented of a patient referred to a neurosurgical center for a biopsy of a presumed neoplastic conus tumor. However, through the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team, further diagnoses were considered. After thorough investigation, two conditions were diagnosed: venous congestive myelopathy secondary to inferior vena cava agenesis and spinal neurosarcoidosis. This case demonstrates the importance of neurosurgeons retaining a high degree of suspicion for alternative diagnosis to avoid unnecessary surgical risk.
