Cauda equina neuroendocrine tumors: A single institutional imaging review of cases over two decades.
Review in The neuroradiology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cauda Equina Neuroendocrine Tumors (CE-NET), previously referred to as paragangliomas are a rare subset of spinal tumors, with limited data on imaging. Herein, we present a retrospective review of clinical and imaging findings of CE-NETs in ten patients who were evaluated at our institution over the past two decades. All patients had well-defined intradural lesions in the lumbar spine which demonstrated slow growth. A review of imaging findings revealed the presence of an eccentric vascular pedicle along the dorsal aspect of the tumor in 8 of the 10 patients (eccentric vessel sign), a distinctive finding that has not previously been reported with this tumor and may help improve the accuracy of imaging-based diagnosis. In all cases, a gross-total resection was performed, with resolution of symptoms in most of the cases.
