Resection of Thoracic Plasmacytoma and Corpectomy Through the Anterolateral Thoracic Approach: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report details the case of a 57-year-old male who initially manifested low back pain radiating from the lumbar region to the left leg. Progressive symptoms included paresthesia on the plantar surfaces of both feet and gait instability attributed to weakness in the pelvic limbs. Computed tomography imaging revealed osteolytic lesions in the T9, T10, and T11 vertebral bodies, resulting in compression of the spinal cord. Subsequent contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging validated these findings, confirming the presence of an extradural tumor. In accordance with the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS), the case was categorized as indicative of potential spinal instability. Consequently, a surgical intervention was performed to excise the lesion. Thus, the role of SINS played a pivotal role in guiding the decision-making process for the chosen treatment modality.
