Association between periodontitis and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2022. 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
introductionOssification of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the spinal ligament compresses the spinal cord, causing various spinal nerve diseases. The ligament tissue is an important connective tissue in the joints, teeth, and spine, which, when torn and damaged, reduces the range of movement. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the treatment of periapical periodontitis and tooth preservation in a 41-year-old Japanese woman previously diagnosed with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. She presented with widespread pain from the paranasal sinuses to the head caused by the onset of periapical periodontitis of the upper front tooth. DISCUSSION: The patient received an oral zinc supplement, which resolved periapical periodontitis over a 2-year follow-up period.
conclusionThe findings from this case imply that, when patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament develop periapical periodontitis, they should be tested for zinc deficiency.
