Optimizing Therapeutic Strategies for Syringomyelia Associated with Tethered Cord Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
This review highlights the need for therapeutic guidelines for syringomyelia associated with tethered cord syndrome (TCS) caused by spinal dysraphism (SD). A comprehensive literature review was conducted, selecting twelve articles to analyze common therapeutic strategies. Surgical cord untethering alone has recently become a preferred treatment, with 45 ± 21.1% of patients experiencing remission or improvement, 47 ± 20.4% unchanged and asymptomatic, and 4 ± 8% worsened. Untethering with direct surgical drainage for the syrinx had better outcomes than untethering alone (78% vs. 45%,
