1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCavernous malformations (CMs) originating from spinal nerve roots are rare but can present with rapidly progressing neurological deficits. Therefore, quick identification and treatment are essential. OBSERVATIONS: The authors present the case of a 52-year-old male presenting with headaches and gait disturbance, found to have a CM of the C1 nerve root. The patient underwent successful suboccipital craniectomy and C1 laminectomy, with complete resection of the lesion, preservation of the cervical spinal nerve roots, and symptomatic improvement postoperatively. LESSONS: This is the first presentation in the literature of a CM originating from the C1 nerve root. The authors show complete resection of the lesion with preservation of the C1 nerve root. Nerve root lesions usually show insidious symptomatic onset. Quick identification and resection are recommended to prevent permanent neurological disability. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2456.
