Dr Oitment's group has discovered that this supplementary table catalogs 24 studies of central cord syndrome covering roughly 1,900 patients, showing wide variation in how the syndrome is defined, when surgery is done, and what outcomes are tracked.

Highlights the lack of standardized definitions and timing protocols in central cord syndrome research, limiting clinicians' ability to compare treatments across studies.
