1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Intradural extramedullary capillary hemangiomas of the cauda equina are very rare. Radiographically, they may mimic other intradural tumors like meningioma or nerve sheath tumors. Here, we present a case of a young woman who presented with low back and left leg radicular pain. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an enhancing lesion in the intradural space at the L4/L5 level. Initially, a diagnosis of meningioma with differential diagnosis of schwannoma was suspected; however, histopathology revealed it to be a capillary hemangioma. Although rare, because of its similar clinico-radiographical features to other common intradural tumors and high risk of intraoperative bleeding, capillary hemangioma should be included in the differential diagnosis when planning surgical excision.
