Syncope in a Patient With an Extensive Thoracolumbosacral Myxopapillary Ependymoma.
Article in Cureus, 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
Myxopapillary ependymomas are most commonly found involving the conus medullaris, cauda equina, and filum terminale, causing lower extremity symptoms, whereas atypical presentations such as syncope are rare. A 20-year-old woman presented with multiple syncopal episodes, headache, visual changes, and lower extremity paresis. Imaging revealed a T10-S2 myxopapillary ependymoma and mild ventriculomegaly. The patient underwent subtotal debulking, and histopathologic examination confirmed a WHO Grade II myxopapillary ependymoma. Postoperatively, her symptoms resolved. This case highlights the importance of evaluating spinal pathology in patients with atypical presentations of syncope.
