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 infarction is a very rare event with a wide variety of symptoms at presentation. We describe the case of a 39-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with atypical chest pain. The initial investigations were non-diagnostic, and the patient was admitted for surveillance. On the second day of admission, he developed neurologic deficits; a second computed tomography showed a medullary infarction at levels C5-T2. Dual antiplatelet therapy was initiated. An extensive study on the underlying etiology was performed. It was considered to be an idiopathic event. The patient was discharged to a rehabilitation center for bladder training and motor training due to quadriplegia level D on Asia Impairment Scale with a C6 neurological level with left predominance and a hand grip deficit that disabled him to grab objects. This case report describes a rare event with a biphasic ictus at presentation. It highlights the difficulty in managing this pathology because of limited clinical data.
