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

A fifty-three year-old military patient, presented with a 3 months neck pain and paraesthesia of upper right extremity after gastroscopy. Radiological examination demonstrated anuncertain degenerative/infective involvement of C6-C7 intervertebral disc. The patient underwent anterior debridement with C5-C6 disc excisional biopsy, with microbiological findings of Bacillus pumilus with high bacterial concentration. After biopsy, segment arthrodesis was achieved only with vertebral plate cruentation and 3 months of cervical collar. He completed a six-weeks course of intravenous antibiotics for the treatment of atypical spondylodiscitis. At one year of follow-up, he had no residual neck pain or neurological signs or symptoms.
