Epidemiological features of spinal intradural tumors, a single-center clinical study in Beijing, China.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundSpinal intradural tumors are rare and heterogeneous in histological type, aggressiveness, and symptomatology, and there is a lack of data about them. This study investigated the epidemiological features of spinal intradural tumors.
methodsThis retrospective analysis included patients with spinal intradural tumors who underwent surgical treatment at the Myelopathy and Spondylosis Ward Beijing Jishuitan Hospital between January 2012 and December 2022.
resultsThis study included 1321 patients [aged 47.19 ± 14.90 years, 603 (45.65%) males] with spinal intradural tumors. The most common histological subtype was schwannoma [n = 511 (38.68%)], followed by spinal meningioma [n = 184 (13.93%)] and ependymoma [n = 101 (7.65%)]. Fifteen (1.14%) patients were diagnosed with metastatic spinal intradural tumors as a presentation of another primary cancer type. The spinal intradural tumors were mostly found in the lumbar region [n = 436 (33.01%)], followed by the thoracic vertebrae [n = 390 (29.52%)], cervical vertebrae [n = 154 (11.66%)], and thoracolumbar region [n = 111 (8.40%)]. Schwannomas mostly affected the lumbar region [n = 256 (52.64%)], spinal meningiomas in the thoracic region [n = 153 (83.15)], and ependymomas in the lumbar region [56 (55.45%)]. The de novo metastases were mostly found in the lumbar region [n = 8 (53.33%)].
conclusionAccording to the results of our single-center study, the most common spinal intradural tumor in Northern China is schwannoma, followed by spinal meningioma and ependymoma.
