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
purposeThe presented study aimed to identify risk factors for spinal deformity (SD) following resection of intradural spinal cord tumors via posterior approach.
methodsArticles of interest were found in accordance with PRISMA guidelines utilizing the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Keywords such as "laminoplasty","laminotomy","laminectomy","tumor","resection","spinal deformity","kyphosis","intradural","intramedullary","extramedullary" were applied. Odds ratios (OR) were estimated for dichotomous variables.
resultsFrom eleven retrospective studies comprising 715 patients, with mean age 17.1 years, 183 developed postoperative SD. Younger age (25 years or below; OR 4.03; p < 0.0001;13 years and below; OR 3.72; p = 0.003) was associated with an elevated risk of SD development. Patients in the age group of > 5 and ≤ 21 years old showed increased risk in the non-fusion subgroup only (OR 9.36; p = 0.02). Preoperative SD was a strong predictor of postoperative SD (OR 12.19; p = 0.0007), particularly accentuated in the non-fusion subgroup (OR 22.14; p < 0.00001). In the non-fusion subgroup, intramedullary tumor location emerged as a significant risk factor for SD (OR 3.67; p = 0.04). Involvement of the thoracolumbar junction increased the risk of postoperative SD (OR 3.11; p = 0.04). In the fusion subgroup, surgery encompassing at least 3 spinal levels elevated the risk of SD (OR 9.18; p = 0.02).
conclusionRisk factors for postoperative spinal deformity include younger age, preoperative SD, thoracolumbar junction involvement, extensive decompression, and intramedullary tumor location. These findings provide insights for clinicians in strategizing optimal surgical strategies for patients with high risk of SD development.
