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

A 60-year-old male with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) presented with back pain, weakness, and bowel and bladder urgency. MRI demonstrated a cauda equina tumor at L2. Following L1-3 laminectomies, intraoperative ultrasound localized the tumor. After dural opening, a vascular tumor was adherent to the cauda equina. Intraoperative nerve stimulation helped to identify the nerve rootlets. Tumor was removed in a piecemeal fashion. Tumor dissection caused periodic spasms in L1-3 distributions. A neuromonitoring checklist was used to recover motor evoked potential signals with elevated mean arterial pressures. Hemostasis was challenging with the vascular tumor. Intraoperative ultrasound confirmed tumor debulking. Pathology confirmed metastatic RCC.
