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

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is a common and serious complication of spinal surgery, particularly after intradural tumor resection. CSF leakage can lead to debilitating headaches, neurological deficits, and other symptoms, with an incidence rate of 0.3%-16%. This study aimed to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of CSF-related complications in patients who underwent spinal intradural tumor surgery. This was a retrospective cohort study including 102 patients who underwent resection of intradural tumors, including ependymomas, astrocytomas, and meningiomas. Data were collected, including patient demographics, surgical details, and postoperative outcomes. The extent of CSF accumulation was evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Statistical analyses were performed to identify risk factors for symptomatic CSF leakage. Postoperative CSF accumulation was observed in 94.1% of patients. Among them, 28.1% experienced symptomatic complications, such as severe headache (20.8%), unexplained fever (6.3%), and CSF leakage (3.1%). Patients with larger CSF accumulation, particularly subcutaneous accumulation, had a significantly higher incidence of symptomatic complications, with the highest rate observed in subfascial accumulation cases (
