Adult-onset presentation of cervicothoracic split cord malformation: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 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
backgroundA 60-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of progressive lower limb pain, weakness, and declining mobility. She was initially diagnosed as having possible hip osteoarthritis or ligamental knee injury. She was eventually seen by a neurologist, who admitted her to a tertiary hospital with new-onset upper motor neuron signs and urinary incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging of the whole spine revealed evidence of C7-T2 type 1 split cord malformation (SCM) necessitating urgent spinal surgery. She had an excellent outcome with intensive rehabilitation and returned to her premorbid level of function and mobility. OBSERVATIONS: The patient presented with nonspecific symptoms, which led to multiple referrals and a significant delay in her diagnosis. LESSONS: Clinicians should be aware of the importance of a detailed history with thorough neurological and spinal examinations.
