A novel scoring system for assessing adult syringomyelia associated with CM I treatment outcomes.
Article in Acta neurologica Belgica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
backgroundA specific scoring system for syringomyelia is lacking. Our objective was to investigate the value of a novel scoring system (Syringomyelia Outcome Scale of Xuanwu hospital, SOS-XW) in assessing surgical outcomes in the treatment of syringomyelia (SM) associated with Chiari malformation type I (CM I).
methodsA quantitative evaluation system (SOS-XW) of SM includes 4 parameters: pain (P), sensation (S), movement (M), and syringomyelia tension index (STI). The clinical data of 88 patients with CM I-related syringomyelia treated by foramen magnum and Magendie dredging (FMMD) from January 2018 to January 2019 were retrospectively analysed with a mean follow-up of 14.3 months, and the SOS-XW score was used to assess the efficacy.
resultsThe higher the SOS-XW score, the more severe was the SM and related symptoms. The mean preoperative score was 5.97, and the postoperative score was 2.66. The symptom improvement rates were 77.78% for P, 69.01% for S, 31.82% for M, and 95.06% for the syringomyelia tension index (STI). The symptom improvement rate of the PSM score was weakly correlated with the improvement rate of STI, R
conclusionsTo evaluate the surgical procedure efficacy in the treatment of syringomyelia, the SOS-XW score can provide a more objective, detailed, and comprehensive analysis, especially STI. A reduction in STI is the practical standard for assessing the effectiveness of surgery.
