Characteristics and Outcome of Surgically Treated Patients with Intradural Extra- and Intramedullary Spinal Metastasis-A Single-Center Retrospective Case Series and Review.
Review in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 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
objectiveIntradural spinal metastases are considered rare. At present, limited information is available on incidence, surgical management, and outcomes.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective patient chart review from 2002 to 2024, identifying all patients surgically treated for intradural spinal metastases. Clinical, surgical and survival data were collected and compared to literature data for patients surgically treated for extradural spinal metastases.
resultsA total of 172 patients with spinal metastases were identified with 13 patients meeting inclusion criteria (7.6%). The mean age at diagnosis of intradural spinal metastases was 52 ± 22 years, with diverse primaries including lung (
conclusionsIntradural location of spinal metastases is rare (7.6%). Even so, surgical resection is safe and effective for neurological improvement, and survival appears lower compared to the reported survival of extradural spinal metastases.
