A Rare Case of Intramedullary Spinal Cord Ganglioglioma with Scoliosis.

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: Ganglioglioma is a slow growing benign intradural intramedullary neuroepithelial tumor. Around 1-2% of all spinal tumors are gangliogliomas. Concurrent scoliosis with ganglioglioma is a rare entity with a few cases reported in literature. Case Report: Here, we present a case report of a 17-year-old boy with thoracic intramedullary ganglioglioma with scoliosis and no neurological deficits. The surgical management comprised D5 - D10 laminectomy, posterior midline myelotomy, and near total tumor resection along with instrumentation from D4 to L1 for deformity correction. Patient recovered well with no post-operative neurodeficits. Follow-up at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years was suggestive of improved patient comfort, reduced pain, improved posture, and no new-onset neurological deficits. Conclusion: Ganglioglioma is a rare intramedullary tumor of spinal cord typically affecting pediatric age group which can be associated with spine deformity. The treatment of choice for Intraspinal gangliogliomas is complete surgical resection. The aim of surgery is to strike a balance between the extent of tumor resection and preserving the normal spinal cord function without causing iatrogenic neurological deficits.
