Prognostic Factors of Spinal Intramedullary Hemangioblastoma : Analysis of Surgical Outcomes and Tumor Characteristics.
Article in Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveSpinal intramedullary hemangioblastoma is a rare and highly vascularized benign tumor. The characteristics of the tumor, its corresponding location, and surgical outcomes remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors and strategies for neurologic deterioration following hemangioblastoma surgery.
methodsA comprehensive retrospective analysis was undertaken to evaluate patients who underwent surgical intervention for intramedullary hemangioblastoma at our institution from 1993 to 2022. Patients with at least 1 year of follow-up data were included. The analysis covered patient demographics, pre- and post-operative modified McCormick scale (MMCS), tumor location, and tumor size.
resultsThis study included 25 cases. One-year after surgery, neurological deterioration was observed in five cases (20.0%), and neurological improvement was found in nine cases (36.0%). Five cases were ventrally located, and twelve cases were dorsally located. Ventrally located cases were larger in tumor axial size (p=0.029) than dorsal location tumors, resulting in poorer follow-up MMCS and a higher prevalence of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL) (p=0.042). Three of them were confirmed to be supplied by the anterior spinal artery. In the case of dorsally located cases, there was no neurologic deterioration.
conclusionIn intramedullary spinal cord hemangioblastomas, cases located ventrally had a higher incidence of neurological deterioration following surgery than those located dorsally or in intramedullary extramedullary cases. Ventrally located hemangioblastomas were larger than those in other locations. They were mainly supplied by the anterior spinal artery in VHL patients.
