Potential risk of impertinent administration of methylprednisolone in lumbar spine surgery: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionSeveral complications of intravenous administration of Methylprednisolone in spine surgery have been reported previously. However, perioperative Addisonian crisis resulting from postoperative routine cessation of intravenous Methylprednisolone has been rarely reported. We here report a case of perioperative Addisonian crisis induced by postoperative routine cessation of intravenous Methylprednisolone. PRESENTATION OF CASE: To report a 56-year-old lady was diagnosed with Addisonian crisis on postoperative duration of lumbar spine surgery after routine cessation of intravenous Methylprednisolone on postoperative day 5. DISCUSSION: There are potential risk and medical complexity of the intravenous administration of Methylprednisolone perioperatively when patients underwent spine surgery, especially the patients with a history of adrenal insufficiency or hypothyroidism, and other endocrine diseases. The early diagnosis and effective replacement therapy after cessation of intravenous glucocorticoid to keep normal serum hormone levels can reduce risk and complication of Addisonian crisis.
conclusionAddisonian crisis may be triggered by the discontinuation of exogenous glucocorticoid. Physicians need to be immediately aware of this potentially lethal complication in patients with endocrine system diseases.
