Laminoplasty versus Laminectomy in the Treatment of Primary Spinal Cord Tumors in Adult Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Observational Studies.
Article in Asian spine journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 present systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to compare the safety and efficacy of the two approaches for primary spinal cord tumors (PSCTs) in adult patients (laminoplasty [LP] vs. laminectomy [LE]). LE is one of the most common procedures for PSCTs. Despite advantages of LP, it is not yet widely used in the neurosurgical community worldwide. The efficacy of LP vs. LE remains controversial. Adult patients over 18 years of age with PSCT at the level of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine were included in the study. A literature search was performed in MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar up to December 2021. Operation time, hospital stay, complications, and incidence of postoperative spinal deformity (kyphosis or scoliosis were extracted. A total of seven retrospective observational studies with 540 patients were included. There were no significant differences between LP and LE group in operation time (p =0.25) and complications (p =0.48). The LE group showed larger postoperative spinal deformity rate than the LP group (odds ratio, 0.47; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.27-0.84; p =0.01). The LP group had a shorter hospital stay (standardized mean differences, -0.68; 95% CI, -1.03 to -0.34; p =0.0001) than the LE group. Both LP and LE have comparable operative times and total complications in the treatment of PSCT. LP was superior to LE in hospital stay and postoperative spinal deformity rate. However, these findings are limited by the very low quality of the available evidence. Randomized controlled trials are needed for further comparison.
