Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach to a Neuroenteric Cyst in the Lumbar Spine.
Article in Cureus, 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
We present a case of a 48-year-old woman who began experiencing excruciating lower back pain that radiated down her right leg and got worse in 15 days. An intradural cyst at L2, which compressed the conus medullaris and cauda equina, was found to be T2 hyperintense and T1 isointense on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Upon histological inspection, a well-defined ovoid cyst was observed and identified as a neuroenteric (NE) cyst, which was somewhat brighter than cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Cyst excision and L2 laminectomy provided her with significant pain relief and a smooth recovery. She had completely recovered from her symptoms by the two-week follow-up. This case demonstrates the importance of MRI in diagnosing NE cysts and the efficacy of surgical removal in producing favorable results.
