Clinical features and rehabilitation outcome after surgical treatment of spinal meningioma.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
STUDY
designRetrospective analysis of clinical routine data.
objectivesSpinal meningioma is a common type of benign spinal tumor. Surgical removal is the standard therapeutic approach. While surgery is generally associated with excellent outcomes, little is known about the rehabilitation outcome of patients with postoperative deficits. Therefore, we aim to describe the clinical features and rehabilitation outcomes of patients after surgical removal of spinal meningioma.
settingRegion of Swabia, Bavaria, Germany.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with spinal meningioma who underwent a rehabilitation program for patients with non-traumatic spinal cord injury at our department over the past five years. In addition to routine data, we focussed on analysing the Barthel Index, SCIM III score, and ASIA impairment scale before and after rehabilitation.
results15 patients were included in the analysis. While most of them only had a few restrictions relevant to activities of daily living, some had severely limited walking ability. The predominant clinical feature was incomplete paraplegia with or without neurogenic bladder and bowel affection. The Barthel Index and SCIM III score demonstrated positive changes in the majority of cases, while alterations in the ASIA impairment scale were observed in a minority.
conclusionConsidering the results of outcome parameters, rehabilitation treatment appears effective for these patients. Nonetheless, further studies with larger patient cohorts are necessary to confirm these findings.
