Unexpected bilateral pedicle stress fractures of the lumbar spine.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Bilateral fracture of the lumbar pedicles is a rare phenomenon that may arise secondary to underlying risk factors. Our case demonstrates bilateral pedicle stress fractures arising in an otherwise healthy 41-year-old male. After failing to respond to conservative measures, he was managed with bilateral pedicle screws. Our patient did not report any incidence of trauma, but he did engage in amateur weightlifting - we suspect that this was the cause of his fractures.
