Epidemiology study on the prognostic factors of intradural extramedullary spinal tumors.
Article in Journal of craniovertebral junction & spine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction: Intradural extramedullary (IDEM) tumors are rare tumors of the spinal cord. Currently, there is no evidence on the factors that predict poor outcomes in the patients. The objective of this study was to determine the prognostic factors that are associated with poor outcomes in IDEM tumors. Materials and Methods: Patients 18 years and older with IDEM tumors who underwent surgery at our institute were identified and retrospectively reviewed. The patient's demographic data, risk factors, and modified McCormick Scale score were collected. Results: A total of 129 patients with IDEM were included in this study. The age ranged from 19 to 79 years (mean 51.3 years), with a predominantly female population (85 patients, 65.9%). Eighty-nine (68.9%) patients had a good outcome, while 40 (31.0%) patients had a poor outcome. The significant factors for poor outcomes included the number of vertebral levels removed for tumor access (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 3.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.30-11.08, Conclusion: We found that the factors for poor outcomes included bowel/bladder involvement, number of vertebral levels removed for tumor access, and pathology other than meningioma, schwannoma, and neurofibroma.
