Cervical Vertebral Body Implant Modification Accommodating Vertebral Artery Aneurysm Clips: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Chordomas involving the cervical spine are best treated by surgical resection and post-operative radiotherapy. Excision of these tumors can be complicated by injury to surrounding soft tissues and neurovascular structures. We report a case of a cervical chordoma resection during which time the left vertebral artery was injured, requiring aneurysm clip sacrifice and the modification of the vertebral body implant to accommodate the applier end of the clips. The implant was modified with the removal of a small portion of one side to accommodate the proximal ends of aneurysm clips. The patient remained neurologically intact without cerebrovascular insult. Modification of the implant did not affect the structural integrity of the corpectomy implant, the planning of radiation therapy, or the final clinical result. At 2.5 years from surgery, the patient remains clinically well with no evidence of recurrence and no structural failure of the implant.
