Spinal intramedullary hematoma presenting years following a cervical epidural injection.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIntramedullary cervical cystic lesions are typically attributed to tumors, infection, or trauma. Here, a patient newly presented with quadriparesis due to a chronic cervical intramedullary hematoma attributed to a cervical epidural steroid injection (CESI) performed 4 years earlier. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 38-year-old patient had a CESI in 2014. Resulting in a transient quadriparesis attributed to an inadvertent intramedullary cord injection. Now, at age 42, she presented with a recurrent cervical myelopathy due to an MR-documented C3-C6 intramedullary cystic lesion that at surgery proved to be a chronic liquified hematoma rather than a syrinx.
conclusionCESI can result in inadvertent intramedullary hemorrhages and spinal cord injuries. Here, a 42-year-old female presented with recurrent myelopathy due to a chronic intramedullary C3-C6 cervical hematoma attributed a prior intramedullary CESI injection performed 4 years previously.
