Intraspinal Intradural Arachnoid Web at the Thoracic Level: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Arachnoid web is a rare condition, which can cause significant neurological symptoms due to spinal cord compression. This case highlights the clinical presentation, surgical management, and pathology of an arachnoid web, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition. A 68-year-old female presented with diffuse pain syndrome, gait disturbance, and left leg pain. Clinical-neurological examination indicated myelopathy, confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealing an intraspinal intradural mass at T4 with early signs of myelopathy. Surgical removal of the mass was performed via right-sided hemilaminectomy and microsurgical excision. Intraoperative findings included a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled pouch beneath an abnormal arachnoid membrane. Pathological analysis identified connective tissue fragments consistent with an arachnoid cyst, without atypia or inflammation. Postoperative recovery showed reduced leg pain and improved mobility.
