Functional neurological disorders in patients undergoing spinal surgery: 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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
background"Conversion disorder" refers to bodily dysfunction characterized by either sensory or motor neurological symptoms that are unexplainable by a medical condition. Given their somatosensory context, such disorders often require extensive medical evaluation, and the diagnosis can only be made after structural disease is excluded or fails to account for the severity and/or spectrum of the patient's deficits. OBSERVATIONS: The authors briefly review functional psychiatric disorders and discuss the comprehensive workup of a patient with a functional postoperative neurological deficit, drawing from their recent experience with a patient who presented with conversion disorder immediately after undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. LESSONS: Conversion disorder has been found to be associated with bodily stress, requiring surgeons to be aware of this condition in the postoperative setting. This is especially true in neurosurgery, given the overlap of true neurological pathology, postoperative complications, and manifestations of conversion disorder. Although accurately diagnosing and managing patients with conversion disorder remains challenging, an understanding of the multifactorial nature of its etiology can help clinicians develop a methodical approach to this condition.
