Primary Carcinoid Tumor of the Central Nervous System: A Rare Case Report with a Diagnostic Challenge.
Article in International journal of applied & basic medical research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Carcinoid tumors (CTs) are slow-growing neuroendocrine neoplasms that may arise in any part of the body. They usually affect the lungs or gut. Primary intradural extramedullary CTs of the central nervous system are rare; few cases have been reported. This case report describes a 36-year-old patient with lower back discomfort, weakness, and lower leg pain for 8 months. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbosacral spine, from the lower L3 vertebral level to the L4-5 disc level, revealed a 4.5 cm × 2.5 cm × 1.5 cm intradural mass lesion. The main differential diagnoses were on clinical and radiographic examination: nerve sheath tumors, meningiomas, and myxopapillary ependymomas. The tumor was excised en bloc after an L3-L5 lumbar laminectomy. Histomorphology and immunohistochemistry made a definitive diagnosis of CT of the lumbar spine. Two years after surgery, there was no clinical or radiological evidence of tumor recurrence or metastasis. The present case study is intended to effectively diagnose and treat spinal intradural extramedullary CTs.
