Complete symptomatic resolution following surgical resection of a spinal tanycytic ependymoma: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundTanycytic ependymoma (TCE) is a rare grade II ependymoma primarily located in the spinal cord, arising from tanycytes. The average age of onset is 34.5 years. Definitive diagnosis is achieved through histological analysis. This case report highlights the complete symptomatic resolution following successful surgical intervention in a patient with a rare spinal TCE. It underscores the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, as timely intervention can significantly enhance a patient's chance for full recovery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 23-year-old Syrian woman with a year of worsening lower back pain and mild paresthesias was diagnosed with a TCE after magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intramedullary mass at T10-T11. Surgical resection was successfully performed with care to minimize bleeding. Histological analysis confirmed the tumor type through spindle cell morphology and GFAP positivity. The patient achieved full recovery 6 months post-surgery.
conclusionDue to nonspecific radiological features of TCE, timely diagnosis requires thorough neurological evaluation, and early referral to specialized centers is advised for suspected cases, as prompt surgical resection can enhance outcomes.
