Cauda equina myxopapillary ependymoma in von Hippel-Lindau disease: A case report.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Patients affected by Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) are prone to develop central nervous system neoplasms such as hemangioblastomas (HBs). Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is not commonly associated with VHL disease. Case Description: We present the first case of a VHL patient affected by simultaneous silent cauda equina MPE and a symptomatic conus medullaris HB. The patient was first operated for systemic tumors and followed for asymptomatic HBs. Simple surveillance was maintained until neurological symptoms appeared. Regular follow-up demonstrated objective growth of the cystic conus medullaris tumor while the cauda equina lesion remained stable. Surgery was performed to avoid further neurological worsening. Histopathological examination showed conus medullaris HB and a nearby cauda equina MPE. Conclusion: Simultaneous spinal HBs and isolated MPE may exceptionally occur in VHL patients.
