Unmasking benign intradural-extramedullary spinal tumors: a systematic review on treatment outcomes and radiological features.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Benign intradural extramedullary (IDEM) spinal tumors constitute about 65% of primary spinal neoplasms. Certain primary malignant or metastatic intradural lesions, although infrequent, may resemble their primary counterparts. Moreover, despite significant advances in the operative techniques, morbidity following treatment of IDEM tumors remains a considerable problem. Therefore, the current review aimed to summarize the most important data about radiological features of IDEM tumors on MRI and discuss optimal treatment of these lesions. Materials and methods: A systematic search was conducted based on MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Clinical Trial.gov, CENTRAL, EBSCO, and Embase according to the PRISMA statement on 8 July 2024. Extracted data were synthesized only qualitatively since the obtained data were not suitable for conducting the meta-analysis. Results: A total of 1003 records were identified in the database search. After considering eligibility criteria, 33 articles were further analyzed, of which 5 discussed diagnostic aspects and 28 evaluated treatment outcomes. Conclusion: The multidisciplinary approach, combining advanced diagnostic imaging, surgical innovation, radiation therapy, and emerging technologies, provides a comprehensive framework for the effective management of intradural extramedullary tumors. Continued research and clinical trials are essential to refine these strategies, enhance diagnostic precision, and optimize treatment outcomes for patients with spinal tumors.
