1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMHE) is a rare vascular tumor with intermediate malignant potential, most commonly affecting young males and typically involving the soft tissues of the lower extremities. Spinal involvement is exceedingly rare, particularly as an isolated bony lesion without soft tissue extension, posing challenges in establishing standardized treatment approaches. OBSERVATIONS: This report details a unique case of thoracic PMHE in a 60-year-old woman managed with a multistaged surgical approach, including preoperative embolization and en bloc spondylectomy. The authors describe the patient's clinical presentation, radiographic findings, surgical technique, and postoperative course, highlighting the role of en bloc resection in achieving tumor control. LESSONS: This case underscores the feasibility of aggressive surgical management for spinal PMHE and emphasizes the need for further research to refine optimal treatment strategies. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25256.
