Intradural Disk Herniation at the Conus Medullaris: A Case Report With Emphasis on Patient Positioning and Neuromonitoring.
Article in JBJS case connector, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
caseA 73-year old man who underwent previous L2-S1 decompression presenting with new right radicular leg pain. Imaging suggests a large central disk herniation at L1-2 with possible intrathecal extension requiring surgical decompression. When positioned prone on a Jackson frame, neuromonitoring motor signals became diminished, and thus, the case was aborted. On returning to the operating room 2 days later, careful positioning in a more neutral/flexed position facilitated normal neuromonitoring signals, allowing for an uneventful intradural approach and discectomy.
conclusionWith conus-level intrathecal disk herniation, consider using prepositional neuromonitoring and avoid hyperextension with positioning to ensure neurological safety.
