Slow-growing hematoma in the thoracic ligamentum flavum: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 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
backgroundThoracic ligamentum flavum hematoma (LFH) is rare. Furthermore, hematoma enlargement due to repeated rebleeding is extremely rare. The authors report on a rare surgical case of thoracic epidural hematoma of the ligamentum flavum. OBSERVATIONS: A 58-year-old man with hypertension presented to the emergency department with thoracic myelopathy, including recurrent back pain and right lower limb paralysis for 9 months. Imaging revealed an epidural mass lesion at T8-9, and surgery was performed based on a diagnosis of hemorrhage with fibrous components. The patient's neurological findings improved, and he was discharged home. LESSONS: Slow-growing LFH in the lower thoracic spine is extremely rare compared to the lumbar spine. Herein, the authors report on the mechanisms of LFH. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE26334.
