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

introductionCervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a neck condition that arises when the spinal cord becomes compressed due to the wear-and-tear changes that occur in the spine as we age. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 52-year-old male, who complains of neck pain, paranesthesia in upper extremities, lower back pain and bilateral calf pain, muscle weakness in the lower and upper extremities, fatigue and general body pain that started four weeks ago associated with other clinical manifestation. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine revealed canal stenosis and increased T2 signal within the spinal cord. CSM is a rare condition there are very few or no cases described in literature when CSM in C3/C4 is associated with a lack of B12 and other pathologies such as and hypoplasia of the mastoid air-cell with system maxillary sinus aplasia.

conclusionThe case described in the present study suggested that the incidence of CSM may be correlated with VB12 deficiency, particularly for cases in which the clinical manifestations and the imaging do not fully match.
