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

Retained medullary cord (RMC) is a defect resulting from impaired secondary neurulation. Intraoperatively, RMC is recognizable as an elongated cord-like structure caudal to the conus, that contains histologically confirmed neuroglial components and a lumen with an ependymal lining. It characteristically does not possess neurological function. This chapter aims to summarize (1) the mechanisms that lead to the occurrence of RMC; (2) the various forms of RMC, such as cystic RMC and 'possible RMC', and (3) the treatment strategies, especially untethering through limited exposure.
