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

Lumbar radiculopathy is usually caused by nerve compression due to herniated disc material or compression by degenerative pathology such as enlarged facet joints, thickened ligamentum flavum or synovial cysts. We report the case of a 48-year-old female with L5 sciatica due to an osteochondral loose body in the foramen. This is only the third reported case of a single osteochondral loose body in the lumbar spine and the first reported case found in the foramen.
