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

Nonmissile penetrating spine injury (NMPSI) is usually encountered in young men, secondary to knife-inflicted injuries. Such injuries often present with complete or incomplete neurodeficit. We hereby report a case of NMPSI (due to impaled knife blade) in the cervical spine, who presented with intact neurology. She was managed by foreign body removal, dural repair, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion with lumbar drain. We performed postoperative magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion tensor imaging and tractography to ascertain the cord status. The case highlights the importance of whole-body computed tomography in patients with multiple stab wounds and the use of CSF diversion in such situations.
