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

contextSpontaneous spinal epidural hemorrhage (SSEH) mostly presents as low back pain with or without a radiculopathy, and rarely with paraplegia or tetraplegia depending on the site and severity of spinal cord compression. We present here a case who had anemia and developed paraplegia following disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) due to a transfusion reaction.

findingsA 65-year-old lady presented with sudden onset chest pain radiating to nape of the neck followed by loss of sensations and power in legs few hours after a blood transfusion. Her past history was negative for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, or a bleeding disorder. Her blood pressure was 90/57 mmHg and she had a normal pulse, respiratory rate, and temperature. On neurological examination, she had no motor power and unevokable muscle stretch reflexes in the lower limbs. The sensations were intact till T

conclusionSSEH is a rare cause of paraplegia. Early radiological diagnosis is crucial for timely neurosurgical management and saving patient from permanent neurological deficit or a fatal outcome.
