Multiple lumbar vertebral fractures following a single idiopathic seizure in an otherwise healthy patient; a case report.
Article in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
It has been reported that fractures are more common in epileptic patients relative to the general population.Seizures by repeated muscular contractions can increase fracture risk throughout the skeleton, but the reportedpapers about non traumatic vertebral fractures following a single episode of seizure are rare and mostly locatedin thoracic spine with only one or two vertebral fracture. The case we reported here was a 42 year old otherwisehealthy man who had three vertebral fractures due to a single idiopathic seizure affected the lumbar region withno previous history of underlying disease, trauma, or drug use.
