Intravascular embolization with spinal decompression and vertebral shaping for acute cauda equina syndrome from aggressive vertebral hemangioma: a case report and literature review.

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
Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of a multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of aggressive vertebral hemangioma with acute cauda equina compression. Case description: A 37-year-old female patient with aggressive vertebral hemangioma presented with sudden loss of muscle strength in both lower limbs (grade I-II) and difficulty in urination and defecation. Magnetic resonance imaging and digital subtraction angiography confirmed a vascular tumor within and around the L4 vertebra, causing cauda equina compression. The treatment involved staged vascular embolization (of the third lumbar artery and branches of the sacral artery) combined with L4 vertebroplasty, laminectomy decompression, and pedicle screw fixation. Postoperative pain was immediately relieved. After 3 months of rehabilitation, muscle strength in both lower limbs recovered to grade 3, with significant improvement in spontaneous urination and defecation. Imaging studies showed complete relief of spinal canal compression. Conclusions: Aggressive spinal hemangioma may require multidisciplinary collaboration, and staged vascular embolization combined with spinal decompression and stabilization surgery can effectively improve neurological function. Early intervention is crucial for achieving favorable outcomes.
