1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe fibroneural stalk of an LDM has variable thickness, complexity, and length, which can span 5 to 6 vertebral segments from its skin attachment to its "merge point" with the dorsal spinal cord. Therefore, complete resection may require extensive multi-level laminotomies. In this technical note, a modification of the procedure is presented that avoids long segment laminectomies while ensuring complete excision of long LDM stalks.

resultsAn illustrative case of resection of LDM is presented using skip laminectomies. The technique ensures complete removal of the stalk, thus reducing the risk of future intradural dermoid development, while at the same time minimizes the risk for delayed kyphotic deformity.

conclusionsA technique of "skip-hop" proximal and distal short segment laminectomies in cases of LDM optimizes the objectives of complete stalk resection with preservation of spinal integrity.
