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

Intradural spinal lipomas are rare benign lesions typically located in the lumbosacral region and associated with spinal dysraphism in children. When unassociated with spinal dysraphism, they are most often diagnosed in young children or adolescents following the emergence of neurological symptoms. In their most rare form, intradural spinal lipomas may be found in adults without spinal dysraphism. Here, we present a case of a 42-year-old female with an intradural spinal lipoma without dysraphism at the T10-T11 level, demonstrating the diagnostic challenge of atypical lipomas and the importance of timely assessment and management. We also reviewed the embryopathogenesis of the different types of intradural spinal lipomas and the importance of surgical interventional planning and approach.
