Gross Total Resection of a Ventral Enterogenous Cyst of the Thoracic Spinal Cord: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Neurosurgery practice, 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 and importanceIntraspinal enterogenous cysts, also referred to as neuroenteric cysts, represent a rare congenital disorder. As reported, these cysts are predominantly located in the cervicothoracic region, while being infrequently found in the lumbosacral region. Most patients manifest symptoms such as progressive local pain, signs of myelopathy, or radicular symptoms. Complete surgical resection of this disease is challenging. In the event of cyst fluid leakage during surgery, postoperative aseptic inflammation is likely to occur. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We report a case in which an enterogenous cyst located ventral to the thoracic spinal cord was completely excised surgically without aspirating the cyst fluid. In addition, a comprehensive literature review and analysis are presented.
conclusionComplete gross resection of a ventral thoracic spinal enterogenous cyst is feasible, avoiding cyst fluid aspiration to minimize aseptic meningitis risk. Complete resection is critical for reducing recurrence and postoperative rehabilitation.
