Value of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring in Spinal Tuberculosis Surgery: A Case Report of Neurological Compromise with Normal Imaging.
Article in Asian journal of neurosurgery, 2026. 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
Spinal tuberculosis (TB), also known as Pott's spine, remains a significant cause of spinal deformity and neurological compromise, particularly in endemic regions. Surgical correction of chronic deformities is associated with significant risks, including spinal cord injury. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has become an essential tool to minimize neurological complications. We report a case of an adolescent boy with longstanding thoracolumbar kyphosis due to spinal TB, where IONM identified true positive motor pathway compromise during deformity correction, despite intraoperative C-arm imaging confirming correct pedicle screw placement. Surgery was halted, and staged completion was planned. Postoperative neurological deficits confirmed the predictive validity of IONM. This case highlights the indispensable role of IONM in surgical decision-making, particularly in complex TB-related deformities where imaging alone may be insufficient to prevent neurological injury.
