Long-term neurological stability after decompression with duraplasty without resection of a non-dysraphic thoracic spinal lipoma: a 30-year follow-up case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Intradural spinal lipomas without associated dysraphism are rare, and the optimal surgical strategy remains controversial, particularly for thoracic lesions strongly adhered to neural structures. A 17-year-old female presented with progressive spastic gait and sensory disturbances in the lower extremities that developed during pregnancy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an intradural lesion at the T5-T8 level consistent with a spinal lipoma. Because of the absence of a clear dissection plane and strong adhesion to neural elements, tumor resection was not attempted. Instead, decompression and duraplasty were performed. The patient showed gradual neurological improvement and was discharged 5 weeks postoperatively. At the 30-year follow-up, the patient remained neurologically stable with no evidence of tumor progression. Decompression without tumor resection may provide favorable long-term outcomes in selected cases of non-dysraphic intradural spinal lipomas with strong adhesion to neural structures.
