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

Central Nervous System (CNS) Tuberculosis (TB) is rare. It manifests in many forms, but the association between intramedullary abscess and multifocal Pott's disease is exceptional. We report the case of a 23-year old female patient diagnosed with multifocal Pott's disease at L2-L3 and L4-L5 based on computed tomography (CT) scan of the spine. She received antituberculous treatment. Two months after the beginning of treatment spinal cord compression occurred. Medullary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed, which showed intramedullary abscess at T4. She underwent surgery with drainage of intramedullary abscess and spinal stabilization. Outcome was favorable, during the 12-month follow-up. The association between intramedullary abscess and multifocal Pott's disease is exceptional. Treatment is based on anti-tuberculous drugs, surgery for spinal decompression and/or spine stabilization if possible.
