CT fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous intervertebral drain insertion for cervical pyogenic spondylodiscitis.
Article in Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 79-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with C6-C7 pyogenic spondylodiscitis with an epidural abscess. Since the cervical intervertebral space is narrower than the thoracolumbar intervertebral space, drain insertion into the cervical intervertebral space requires a more accurate procedure. Moreover, the specific anatomy of cervical vertebrae, which includes the transverse foramen through which the vertebral artery passes and the uncinate process on the side edges of the top surface of the bodies, makes it impossible to perform computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous intervertebral drain insertion through the posterolateral approach. Therefore, CT fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous cervical intervertebral drain insertion using a lateral approach, in which the needle is advanced between the carotid sheath and scalene muscle, and simultaneous intravenous contrast enhancement might be a safe and useful technique. There have been no papers on CT fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous intervertebral drain insertion for cervical pyogenic spondylodiscitis, while successful CT fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous intervertebral drain insertion for thoracolumbar pyogenic spondylodiscitis has been reported. Here, we successfully performed CT fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous intervertebral drain insertion for cervical pyogenic spondylodiscitis.
