Survival Rate after Palliative Surgery Alone for Symptomatic Spinal Metastases: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical 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
The effect of spine surgery for symptomatic spinal metastases (SSM) on patient prognosis remains unclear. This study aimed to reveal the prognosis of patients with SSM after spine surgery. One hundred twenty-two patients with SSM were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. The patients who received chemotherapy after enrollment were excluded. The decision of surgery depended on patient's willingness; the final cohort comprised 31 and 24 patients in the surgery and non-surgery groups, respectively. The patients were evaluated by their performance status (PS), activities of daily living (ADL) and ambulatory status. Survival was evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The PS, ADL and ambulation were significantly improved in the surgery group compared to non-surgery group. The median survival was significantly longer in the surgery group (5.17 months, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.27 to 7.07) than in the non-surgery group (2.23 months, 95% CI 2.03 to 2.43;
