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

introductionMyositis of unknown aetiology might be a very rare complication of intramuscular injections of onabotulinum toxin A (Botox) for spasticity treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of significant myositis of unknown aetiology in a 17-year-old man, who was admitted for rehabilitation 4 months after his initial spinal cord injury (SCI) as a result of a mountain bike accident. He has an incomplete tetraplegia, C4 AIS B international Standards for Neurological Classification for Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) [1] due to C5 vertebra 3 column fracture [2]. He had severe spasticity of his lower limb muscles treated with Botox, following which, he required two acute hospital transfers for diagnosis and management of myositis. DISCUSSION: This is a severe unusual presentation of myositis caused by intramuscular botulinum toxin for treatment of spasticity, in the frequent setting of spasticity where intramuscular botulinum toxin injections are routinely used.
