Endoscopic posterior resection of C2 osteoid osteoma with 3 years follow-up.
Article in Brain & spine, 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
Study design: Case report and literature review. Objective: To present and describe the surgical technique of the case with 3 years follow-up, the longest one reported to date involving posterior endoscopic management of a C2 osteoid osteoma. Background: Summary: The development of spinal endoscopic techniques has enabled the treatment of degenerative spinal disorders and has expanded their indications to include spinal tumor pathology. This report represents the case with the longest follow-up reported to date regarding the use of endoscopic techniques in the treatment of cervical osteoid osteoma. Methods: A 10-year-old patient presented with a 2-year history of cervical pain. Diagnostic imaging with Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) revealed an osteoid osteoma located in the C2 lamina and pedicle. The patient underwent posterior cervical endoscopy with complete tumor excision. Results: Clinical and radiological follow-up demonstrated tumor resection with a significant reduction of symptoms. No signs of tumor recurrence were observed at 3 years of follow-up. Conclusion: Endoscopic techniques have expanded their indications to include spinal tumor pathology. In experienced hands, this is a safe technique that allows direct visualization of tumor resection.Its advantages include minimal morbidity, reduced postoperative pain and discomfort, decreased analgesic dependence, and improved cosmetic outcomes.
