Hemorrhagic Infarction of Cerebellum and Brainstem Due to Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection - Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Academic forensic pathology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Radiculopathy is a painful condition usually due to a compressed nerve in the spine. It is reported that cervical radiculopathy has an annual incidence of 83.2 cases per 100 000 people. Cervical epidural steroid injection is one of the main treatments, but it can result in serious adverse events, including loss of vision, stroke, paralysis, and death. A 69-year-old female died after receiving the second of three planned C5/C6 epidural steroid injections. The autopsy revealed extensive hemorrhage and necrosis of the entire right side of the cerebellum and nearby brainstem, and extensive petechial hemorrhage of the left side of the cerebellum. This report discusses the importance of a complete autopsy in the case of death due to cervical epidural steroid injection and reporting the case either to peer review literature or to the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (F AERS) database.
