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

Study design and objection: Intradural disc herniation is a unusual disease associated with spinal surgery. The definitive diagnosis of intradural herniation depends on intraoperative findings. Summary of background data: We present the case of a 63-year-old woman with backache and left sciatica radiation for more than two months. The L2/3 laminectomy and discectomy were performed after magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study; however, no disc rupture was noted during surgery. Follow-up lumbar spine MRI revealed one large, ruptured disc. The patient underwent revision surgery with durotomy. The large intradural disc was found and removed piece by piece. Methods Results and Conclusions: Intradural disc herniation, especially large herniation, is hard to diagnose specifically despite the progression of neuroradiologic imaging techniques. A durotomy procedure should be considered if there is a missing ruptured disc or a palpable intradural mass during surgery.
