Microsurgical approach for resection of the filum terminale internum in tethered cord syndrome-a case demonstration of technical nuances and vignettes.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica, 2023. 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
backgroundIn tethered cord syndrome due to filum terminale pathology, the surgical approach to achieve detethering of the spinal cord may vary. Traditionally, sectioning the filum through a laminectomy at the lumbosacral level is performed.
methodA microsurgical technique at a higher level to approach the filum below the conus tip is performed. This allows for removal of the entire distal portion of the filum through a limited interlaminar approach and dural opening.
conclusionWe propose a technique to transect the filum terminale below the conus tip and extract the distal filum by releasing it from its intradural attachments to minimize any remnants of the filum terminale.
