Spontaneous chronic spinal subdural hematomas in pediatric patients: illustrative cases.
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
backgroundSpontaneous chronic spinal subdural hematomas (cSSDHs) are a rarely reported clinical pathology in pediatric patients in which subdural blood accumulates without an obvious etiology. OBSERVATIONS: The authors report 2 cases of pediatric patients with cSSDHs with no known nonaccidental trauma, coagulopathy, or underlying vascular malformation. The patients presented with progressive back pain and paresthesias. Both cases were treated successfully with decompression and evacuation of subdural blood products using a posterior short-segment laminectomy (case 1) or laminoplasty (case 2), which yielded satisfactory improvement in pain and no recurrence through follow-up. LESSONS: Chronic SSDHs are not always associated with an underlying vascular malformation or coagulopathy. Posterior decompression and evacuation of blood products can yield satisfactory outcomes without early recurrence. Spontaneous spinal subdural hematoma should be a diagnosis of exclusion after thorough workup to rule out potentially underlying etiologies of the pathology. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE26105.
