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

Intramedullary spinal cord metastases (ISCM) are a rare complication of cancer and rarely reveal it. We report a case of a 54-year-old man who experienced progressive weakness and numbness of his right leg, which caused him to have walking difficulties. The spinal cord MRI demonstrated centromedullary high signal intensity in the cervicodorsal region, suggesting secondary locations. The patient underwent a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, which showed a lung tumor. The lung biopsy revealed an acinar-predominant adenocarcinoma. The patient's treatment involved both chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and he died two months after the diagnosis.
