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

Intramedullary spinal cord metastases (ISCM) are uncommon metastases of the spinal cord. Magnetic resonance (MR) plays an important role in surgical planning when ISCM is suspected in the differential diagnosis. The incidence of ISCM is expected to increase due to the longer survival of cancer patients as well as the widespread use of MR in the diagnosis of neurological syndromes. The management of these patients is controversial because of the multiple clinical presentations and lack of controlled studies on the efficacy of different therapeutic approaches. Increased awareness of this rare entity may lead to an earlier diagnosis with novel imaging approaches at a stage when neurological deficits are reversible. A case of ISCM in a 49-year-old patient with differentiated thyroid cancer is reported.
