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

The video demonstrates an operative approach to a recurrent cervical anaplastic ependymoma. MYCN-amplified anaplastic ependymomas are locally aggressive, recurrent, and have a high risk of iatrogenic injury. In this case, the patient presented with local, aggressive tumor expansion, arachnoid adhesions, and pial invasion ventral to the spinal cord. Subcapsular decompression minimized cord retraction from a dorsal approach. Removal of the tumor capsule was guided by bipolar stimulation paired with neuromonitoring. Local gross-total resection was achieved, and the patient had a postoperative improvement in his neurological deficits and myelopathy.
