Substantial Atrophy of the Psoas Muscle as Late Sequela of L2 Osteoporotic Fracture: a Case Report.
Article in Maedica, 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
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) are considered benign and heal after 8-12 weeks. Nevertheless, up to one third of these patients will have persistent back pain, which may be complicated with neurologic deficit or paraplegia A unique unusual case of delayed onset of neurological complication of an osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) in an elderly patient is reported. The patient presented with paraparesis due to isolated substantial atrophy of the psoas muscle 12 months after the initial fracture. The patient was investigated with imaging and nerve contacted studies. We suggest that psoas muscle atrophy can be determinant clinical sign to diagnose neurological compromise resulting from OVF, even if there is no other clinical indicators of spinal pathology.
