Spine trauma: Radiological approach and new concepts.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The spine is the main stabilizer and load bearer of the axial skeleton. It is also important for the protection of neural structures, such as the spinal cord, nerve roots, and cauda equina. In the healthy skeleton, most injuries are a consequence of high-energy trauma and can lead to severe dysfunction, such as tetraplegia or paraplegia. In order to avoid such disabilities, it is important to recognize details that will guide treatment, and that will determine the necessity or not to have surgery. Familiarity with radiography, CT, and MRI in evaluating spine trauma is necessary, as, in some cases, all three methods will be useful in determining management and surgical planning. The most important factor in determining management in the thoracolumbar spine is the posterior ligamentous complex (PLC). Therefore, familiarity with its anatomy, primary and secondary signs of its injuries, is essential for radiologists in the emergency setting. Spine fractures are a very heterogeneous group of disorders. Management can be both conservative and surgical. It is important for radiologists to be aware of classifications and patterns for these injuries.
