Impact of Admission Imaging Findings on Neurological Outcomes in Acute Cervical Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury.
Article in Journal of neurotrauma, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
Variable and unpredictable spontaneous recovery can occur after acute cervical traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI). Despite the critical clinical and interventional trial planning implications of this tSCI feature, baseline measures to predict neurologic recovery accurately are not well defined. In this study, we used data derived from 99 consecutive patients (78 male, 21 female) with acute cervical tSCIs to assess the sensitivity and specificity of various clinical and radiological factors in predicting recovery at one year after injury. Categorical magnetic resonance imaging parameters included maximum canal compromise (MCC), maximum spinal cord compression (MSCC), longitudinal length of intramedullary lesion (IML), Brain and Spinal Injury Center (BASIC) score, and a novel derived Combined Axial and Sagittal Score (CASS). Logistic regression analysis of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was applied to assess the differential predictive value of individual imaging markers. Admission American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade, presence of a spinal fracture, and central cord syndrome were predictive of AIS conversion at one year. Both BASIC and IML were stronger predictors of AIS conversion compared with MCC and MSCC (p = 0.0002 and p = 0.04). The BASIC score demonstrated the highest overall predictive value for AIS conversion at one year (AUC 0.94). We conclude that admission intrinsic cord signal findings are robust predictive surrogate markers of neurologic recovery after cervical tSCI. Direct comparison of imaging parameters in this cohort of patients indicates that the BASIC score is the single best acute predictor of the likelihood of AIS conversion.
