Myeloid sarcoma of the thoracic spine: A case report.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2023. 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
Background: Myeloid sarcoma is an uncommon malignant neoplasm that typically arises at extramedullary sites and is associated with a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. While myeloid sarcoma can involve any organ, central nervous system involvement is rare, particularly in the adult population. Case Description: An 87-year-old female presented with progressive paraparesis of 5 days' duration. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an epidural tumor from T4 to T7 with cord compression. When she underwent a laminectomy for tumor resection, the pathology revealed a myeloid sarcoma with monocytic differentiation. Although she improved postoperatively, she elected to pursue hospice care and expired 4 months later. Conclusion: Myeloid sarcoma is an uncommon malignant spinal neoplasm rarely seen in adults. For this 87-year-old female, MRI-documented cord compression warranted decompressive surgery. Although this patient did not opt for adjuvant therapy, other patients with such lesions may undergo additional chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Nevertheless, optimal management for such malignant tumor is still undefined.
