Outcomes in Patients with Spinal Metastases Managed with Surgical Intervention.
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSpinal metastases are a significant cause of morbidity in patients with advanced cancer, and management often requires surgical intervention. Although prior studies have identified factors that influence outcomes with surgery, the ability of these factors to predict outcomes remains unclear in the era of contemporary therapies, and there is a need to better identify patients who are likely to benefit from surgery.
methodsWe performed a single-center, retrospective analysis to evaluate risk factors for poor outcomes in patients with spinal metastases treated with surgery. The primary outcome was mortality at 180 days.
resultsA total of 128 patients were identified. Age ≥ 65 years at surgery (
conclusionsAge > 65, extraspinal metastases, and performance status scores >1 are factors associated with mortality at 180 days in patients with spinal metastases treated with surgery. Patients with these factors and BMI ≤ 30 mg/kg
