Total En Bloc Spondylectomy for Thoracic (T8) Spinal Metastasis of Renal Cell Carcinoma - A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. 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
Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is notorious malignancy that could metastasize to lungs, lymph nodes, bones, and other internal organs. The spine is the most common area among bones where it metastasizes. Two main concerns for the spine surgeon regarding spinal metastasis are the stability of the spine and the prognosis of the disease. Total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) is a well-known procedure employed for the excision of metastatic lesion to the spine. Case Report: We report a case of 61-year-old elderly male with RCC with a past history of pulmonary metastasis, who presented to our institute with complaints of back pain and limited mobility in 2024. Radiological evaluation detected the lesion of the T8 vertebra. The patient underwent comprehensive evaluation with validated scoring systems (Modified Tokuhashi score of 10, and Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score of 14). Pre-operative embolization and then TES of the T8 vertebra was performed. There were no perioperative complications and he was able to mobilize post-operatively with some improvement in his neurological status. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the step-by-step approach of TES for the malignant spread of RCC to T8 vertebra with rewarding perioperative results.
