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
backgroundComplete removal of the lesion from the spinal cord cavernous malformation is crucial in patients with spinal cord cavernous malformation. Herein, we report that narrow-band imaging (NBI) is useful to confirm the complete removal of spinal cord cavernous malformations. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old woman was followed up for the past seven years due to multiple intracranial cavernous malformations. She reported abnormal pressure sensation in the right hip. Thoracic MRI revealed an intramedullary lesion at the 6th thoracic vertebra, suggesting hemorrhage from a spinal cord cavernous malformation. Subsequently, the patient experienced worsening numbness and gait disturbances. The patient underwent surgery using monitoring of motor- and sensory-evoked potentials in the lower extremities. An intramedullary lesion with hematoma was removed using an exoscope and indocyanine green imaging. However, NBI revealed a residual lesion in the removal cavity, which was additionally removed. Postoperatively, the abnormal sensation was alleviated with no loss of motor function.
conclusionNBI is helpful in detecting hidden spinal cord cavernous malformations.
