Cavernoma of the cauda equina mimicking schwannoma: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Cavernous malformations (CMs), also known as cavernomas or cavernous hemangiomas, are vascular lesions characterized by clusters of abnormally dilated blood vessels resembling a mulberry. In this report, we present the case of a 40-year-old man who presented with a one-year history of back pain radiating into both legs, with a preference for the left leg. An MRI initially suggested a schwannoma at the T12-L1 vertebral level, with a differential diagnosis that included meningioma-2 common intradural-extramedullary spinal tumors- with distinct management and prognostic implications. However, despite imaging findings consistent with a schwannoma, the final pathology revealed an intradural extramedullary (IDEM) cavernous hemangioma in the thoracolumbar region. Although cavernous hemangiomas are very rare in the spinal region, our case underscores the importance of considering them in the differential diagnosis of IDEMs in the thoracolumbar area.
