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

backgroundLimited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM) is characterized by a fibroneural stalk linking the skin lesion to the underlying spinal cord. CASE PRESENTATION : A 7-month-old girl with a lumbosacral "cigarette-burn" flat skin lesion underwent untethering surgery. The intradural tethering stalk appeared to originate at the dural wall and join the cord with no extradural stalk linking to the skin lesion. Histological examination of the intradural stalk revealed glial fibrillary acidic protein-immunopositive neuroglial tissues in the fibrocollagenous band, which is the central histopathological feature of an LDM stalk.

conclusionIt is conceivable that the LDM stalk in our patient was originally linked to the skin lesion and subsequently regressed and was replaced by mature adipose tissue. We should be mindful of possible variations in the morphological features of LDM.
