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

Spinal cord stimulators (SCS) have been an invaluable resource in treating chronic pain pathologies such as failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, neuropathic pain, and leg ischemia. Post-dural puncture headaches (PDPH) are a common phenomenon that happens when the dura is compromised. It has been seen with permanent SCS placement, but less commonly reported with SCS trail leads. We present a case of a patient who developed PDPH symptoms, not after initial trial leads placement but upon their removal. This case not only illustrates that dural compromise can occur when the placement of the leads is correct with confirmatory imaging, but also the leads themselves can contribute to masking the defect.
