Magnetic Resonance Imaging Negative Spine Trauma Followed by a Delayed Intravertebral Vacuum Cleft-Kümmell's Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Orthopaedic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundKümmell's disease (KD) is a rare clinical entity characterized by delayed post-traumatic vertebral body collapse, in which an intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVC) is formed. The patient sustained a minor spinal trauma, and their spine X-ray examinations were negative. However, after an asymptomatic period of months, they developed recurrent back pain because of the progressive vertebral collapse of the affected spine. However, no imaging examination could confirm the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-negative initial spinal trauma followed by delayed vertebral collapse with IVC. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of KD occurring in a 66-year-old postmenopausal patient whose lumbar MRI on sagittal planes were immediately performed following the initial trauma (a ground-level fall) and revealed that the vertebral integrity or connectivity was not interrupted and the marrow signal was even. After an asymptomatic period of 8 months, the back pain reappeared and progressively exacerbated. The wedge-shaped change in the T11 vertebra with an IVC was confirmed by lumbar computed tomography and MRI. Finally, KD was diagnosed following extensive routine hematological and biochemical workups. Percutaneous kyphoplasty was performed to relieve her back pain by restoring her vertebral stability.
conclusionsWe confirmed that the OVF was not the first step in the KD sequence, and the IVC - KD - could from an initial MRI-negative spine trauma.
