A series of systematic reviews on the treatment of acute spinal cord injury: a foundation for best medical practice.

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
The treatment of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is a multidisciplinary effort that spans from the time of injury through to an acute care center, and in some cases the remainder of the individual's life. Recovery from SCI depends on the care received at each point along this spectrum in time. In order to facilitate the practice of evidence-based medicine and best clinical practices, a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and researchers systematically reviewed the literature on SCI and set out to answer pertinent clinical questions and establish evidence-based recommendations. This article introduces the series of systematic reviews, summarizes the most notable findings, and gives an overview of the questions asked in each review and the evidence-based recommendations for care. Some of the most important recommendations are as follows: (1) Patients should be immobilized before transport to a hospital using a cervical collar, head immobilization, and a spinal board; (2) MRI is strongly recommended for the prognostication of acute SCI; (3) early surgical intervention (from 8-24 h) should be considered following acute traumatic SCI; (4) SCI patients are at significant risk of cardiovascular and respiratory problems and management should proactively anticipate these potential complications; and (5) outcomes can be improved by management in specialized centers with access to intensive care.
