Surgical options for metastatic spine tumors: WFNS spine committee recommendations.
Review in Neurosurgical review, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Surgical treatments for metastatic spine tumors have evolved tremendously over the last decade. Improvements in immunotherapies and other medical treatments have led to longer life expectancy in cancer patients. This, in turn, has led to an increase in the incidence of metastatic spine tumors. Spine metastases remain the most common type of spine tumor. In this study, we systematically reviewed all available literature on metastatic spine tumors and spinal instability within the last decade. We also performed further systematic reviews on cervical metastatic tumors, thoracolumbar metastatic tumors, and minimally invasive surgery in metastatic spine tumors. Lastly, the results from the systematic reviews were presented to an expert panel at the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) meeting, and their consensus was also presented.
