Surgical management of spinal metastases from primary lung carcinoma: demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes-A retrospective analysis.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of palliative surgery in patients with spinal metastases from lung cancer and to identify prognostic factors affecting postoperative 1-year survival, providing clinical treatment references for these patients. Methods: Clinical data of 55 patients with spinal metastases from lung cancer who underwent surgery at Shenzhen People's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022 were analyzed. Improvements in preoperative and postoperative visual pain scores, ODI scores, and Frankel grades were assessed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves, and the Cox proportional hazards model was employed to analyze various factors influencing postoperative 1-year survival. Results: Surgical treatment helped alleviate pain, maintain or improve neurological function, and enhance the quality of life. Among the 55 patients, 23 (41.82%) died, and 32 (58.18%) survived, with a median survival time of 16.83 months (95% CI: 9.88, 23.78) and a one-year survival rate of 58.18%.Factors influencing postoperative 1-year survival included ODI score one-month post-surgery, presence of visceral metastases, and postoperative bone modifying agents (BMA). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model survival analysis indicated that the presence of visceral metastases and postoperative BMA were independent factors affecting one-year survival in these patients. Conclusion: Surgical treatment effectively alleviates pain, maintains or improves neurological function, and enhances the quality of life in patients with spinal metastases from lung cancer. The presence of visceral metastases and postoperative BMA are independent factors influencing postoperative 1-year survival.
