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

Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord is a neurologic complication of vitamin B12 deficiency. It presents as a potentially reversible demyelination of the posterior and lateral columns of the cervical and dorsal spinal cord. We present the case of a 40-year-old male with progressive sensory and motor deficit from the lower extremities ascending to the mid-thoracic region. A combination of laboratory tests and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis of subacute degeneration of the spinal cord due to vitamin B12 deficiency.
