Late diagnosis of dorsolumbar lipomyelomeningocele with tethered cord in a middle aged adult: A case report from Nepal.
Article in Radiology 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
Closed spinal dysraphism can present with diagnostic issues in settings with limited resources, when knowledge of the disorder and specialized radiological studies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may not be readily available. Undiagnosed cases can develop serious neurological deficits. Here, we describe a case of dorsolumbar lipomyelomeningocele, a type of closed spinal dysraphism, presenting in a middle aged with paraplegia complicated by bed sores. A 38-year-old female with no significant past medical history experienced gradually progressive weakness of bilateral lower limbs over 9 years. On physical examination, patient had a soft swelling with hairy tuft over the lumbar spine, paraplegia, grade III bed sore over the gluteal region, and sensory loss below L1 sensory level. Her bowel and bladder sensation were decreased. The soft tissue swelling over her back was not evaluated appropriately before this presentation. MRI of the spine revealed dorsolumbar lipomyelomeningocele with tethered spinal cord.
