Spinal cord tractography and neuromonitoring-based surgical strategy for intramedullary ependymoma.
Article in Neurosurgical focus: Video, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Because the spinal cord contains a rich concentration of longitudinal and transversal fibers in a very small area, intramedullary surgery could result in a high likelihood of morbidity. In this video, the authors demonstrate the microsurgical technique and surgical skills used to perform excision of an intramedullary ependyma. The authors also present tools (electrophysiology and neuroimaging) that are useful for surgical decision-making and planning, and thus are used intraoperatively, that allow safer and more effective resection of an intramedullary tumor.
