Metastatic epidural spinal cord compression: current concepts and treatment.
Review in Journal of neuro-oncology, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) is a medical emergency complicating the course of 5-10% of patients with cancer [1]. When diagnosis and treatment is early with the patient ambulatory prognosis for continued ambulation is good [2]. If the patient is nonambulatory or paraplegic, prognosis for meaningful recovery of motor and bladder function is markedly decreased. In the last decade, significant advances in the understanding, management and treatment of metastatic epidural spinal cord compression have occurred. Recent pathophysiological and pharmacological animals studies have afforded insights into disease mechanisms [3-9]. The audit of standard methods of investigation and magnetic resonance imaging have resulted in revision of guidelines for patient evaluation [10-17]. Finally, new surgical philosophies and technical advances have generated interest and controversy [18-25]. With improved clinical awareness, new imaging modalities will help us diagnose epidural spinal cord compression earlier and institute appropriate treatment.
