Safety and Feasibility of Lumbar Cerebrospinal Fluid Pressure and Intraspinal Pressure Studies in Cervical Stenosis: A Case Series.

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
introductionDegenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) leads to functional impairment by compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots. In DCM, the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) and intraspinal pressure (ISP), as well as spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP) remain not investigated yet. Recent technical advances have enabled investigation of these parameters in acute spinal cord injury (SCI). We aim to investigate the properties of CSFP/ISP and spinal cord hemodynamics during and after decompressive surgery in DCM. MATERIALS AND
methodsFour patients with DCM were enrolled; during surgery and 24 h postoperative, ISP at level was measured in one patient, and CSFP was measured in two patients. In one patient, CSFP was recorded at bedside before surgery.
resultsAll measurements were conducted without adverse events and were well tolerated. With CSFP analysis, post-decompression Queckenstedt's test was responsive in two patients (i.e., jugular vein compression resulted in an elevation of CSFP pressure). In the patient whose CSFP was tested at bedside, Queckenstedt's test was not responsive before decompression. Individual optimum SCPPs were calculated to be between 70 and 75 mmHg.
conclusionISP and CSFP can reflect spinal compression and sufficient decompression. A better understanding and systematic monitoring possibly lead to improved hemodynamic management and may allow early recognition of postoperative complications such as swelling and bleeding.
