Pus in Spinal Needle: Diagnosis and Management of a Long-Segment Spinal Epidural Abscess.
Article in Case reports in infectious diseases, 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 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
Spinal-epidural abscess (SEA) is believed to be primarily of haematogenous origin and very rarely as a consequence of central neuraxial blockade. Early diagnosis and pertinent management invariably improve neurological outcomes. We report a case of long-segment SEA, which was suspected during subarachnoid anaesthesia, subsequently diagnosed and managed appropriately, averting irreversible neurological deficits.
