Clinical features and long-term surgical outcomes of conus medullaris hemangioblastomas.
Article in Egyptian 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
Background: Conus medullaris hemangioblastomas (HBs) are extremely rare vascular pathologies. The clinical-radiological features and long-term surgical outcomes of this rare disease are still lacking because of its rarity. Objective: This single-center study was carried out to describe the clinical and radiological characteristics and surgical outcomes of this rare entity. Methods: A cohort of patients who underwent resection of conus medullaris HBs in our center between 2009 and 2020 was retrospectively identified. Data on demographic features and surgical outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: Fourteen patients were consecutively included in this study (mean onset age of 43.2 ± 14.6 years, 57.1% male). Ten (71.4%) of them were in the sporadic group, whereas four (28.6%) had von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome. Gross total resection (GTR) was achieved in most patients ( Conclusion: Conus medullaris HBs are rare spinal vascular entities. Timely and careful microsurgical dissection of HBs can provide symptomatic relief and halt the progression of neurological deficits. The surgical outcome is usually satisfactory, even in recurrent cases. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s41984-026-00548-4.
