Imaging update in spinal tuberculosis.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Tuberculosis is ancient disease known to mankind. Diagnosis and management of spinal tuberculosis has immensely improved in last few decades. Imaging, particularly MRI, plays important role in diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis and its complications. Four common imaging patterns of spinal tuberculosis include paradiscal type, central type, Anterior subligamentous type, and posterior type. Imaging also plays important role in differentiation of spinal tuberculosis from its mimics, particularly pyogenic spondylitis, and metastasis. Radiological interventions, such as CT guided vertebral biopsy, and percutaneous drainage of cold abscess, are commonly used in management of spinal tuberculosis. Monitoring of therapeutic response is often based on clinical evaluation and imaging. MRI is most common imaging modality used. Signs of healing include bony ankylosis, resolution of marrow edema, decrease in contrast enhancement, and fatty change with in bone marrow. PET CT is recently evaluated for response assessment with promising results. This review summarizes pathophysiology, clinical presentation, imaging features, radiological interventions, and response assessment in spinal tuberculosis.
