Management of non-missile penetrating spinal injury.
Review in Neurosurgical review, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Review of the literature with case illustration. Non-missile penetrating spinal injury (NPSI) represents a small subset of spinal cord injuries at tertiary trauma centers and is comprised mostly of knife violence. Strict guidelines for the management of penetrating spinal cord injury remain elusive given the variability of mechanisms, rarity of clinical experience, and paucity of prospective studies. A review of the literature was conducted by search of the National Library of Medicine (PubMed) in the English language through June of 2018. Additional articles were culled from the reference lists of the included series. Eleven case series totaling 1007 patients, along with 21 case reports, were identified. In summary, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be beneficial in assessing incomplete or progressive spinal injuries and can be considered with retained foreign bodies in select cases. Forty-eight hours of antibiotic prophylaxis is likely sufficient to prevent infection. Puncture wounds should be debrided, washed, and closed. Retained foreign bodies should be removed in the operating room and often require laminectomy. Early intervention is preferred. Non-missile penetrating spinal injury has a higher likelihood of neurologic recovery as compared to other traumatic spinal injuries.
