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

Primary hydatid cyst of the spinal canal is extremely rare. We reported a 42-year-old Kazakh man with right lower back pain and weakness in both lower limbs for 2 months, who lived in the pastoral area. Clinical examination revealed that the patient had no cysts on other organs and no previous medical history except for a huge cyst inside and next to the vertebrae. MRI examination revealed a huge dumbbell-shaped primary cyst across the intervertebral foramen. Pathological examination after operation confirmed a fine-grained hydatid cyst disease. Therefore, in the pastoral area, doctors should be alert to the occurrence of hydatid cyst disease if patients complained about progressive back pain and lower limb weakness or other spinal cord compression symptoms. Once hydatid cysts in other organs or systems were detected, the occurrence of the disease could be highly suspected. Complete resection is an effective treatment for hydatid cyst disease.
