Intradural extramedullary cystic lesions: an interesting cauda equina cysticercosis case report and a literature review.
Review in BMC neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIntraspinal cysticercosis, usually with serious neurological deterioration, is rarely diagnosed because its clinical manifestations are nonspecific, and most physicians might not be familiar with its imaging features. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of increasing pain in her right buttock, rectal tenesmus and uncontrolled micturition. Intradural extramedullary cystic lesion was found, and the characteristic MRI findings of a living cysticercus and a dying cysticercus were presented simultaneously. Finally, the giant intraspinal cysticercus was treated by surgery and antiparasitic treatment.
conclusionsThis case emphasizes that the characteristic imaging findings of different cysticercus cysts as well as the detailed personal history usually provide useful diagnostic clues. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis may aid in confirming the diagnosis.
