A survey on the early management of spinal trauma in low and middle-income countries: From the scene of injury to the diagnostic phase (part II).
Article in Brain & spine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
•Most spinal trauma worldwide occurs in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Several factors may limit the applicability of current guidelines as regards the early management of spinal injury.•The pre-hospital management per se of spinal trauma in LMICs is subject to partial adherence to recommendations, with possible impact on patient outcomes.•The use of clinical (eg ASIA) and morphological (eg SLIC, TLICS, AO Spine) grading scales is not homogeneous.•The availability and cost of diagnostic equipment, and the timing of emergency imaging can vary significantly from one region to another, probably affecting the timely management of spinal injury patients.•The introduction of resource-targeted guidelines for spinal trauma may be a valuable option to overcome the limitations of real-life application of current guidelines.
