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

In this case report, we present a unique cause of coccygodynia due to an intradural lumbar spinal tumour in a patient with multiple filum terminale paragangliomas. We highlight the symptomatology, the clinical course, and the radiological findings. Our review of the literature proved our case to be the first report of an intradural cauda equina tumour presenting with coccygodynia in English literature. Based on the outcome and clinical response to treatment we make a bold hypothesis on the possible anatomical mechanism of his coccygodynia.
