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

Background: Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas (SSEH), unrelated to trauma, epidural anesthesia, or surgery, are rare in the pediatric population. Here, a 1-year-old male with hemophilia presented with a magnetic resonance (MR)-documented SSEH and was successfully treated with a C5-T10 right hemilaminectomy. Case Description: A 1-year-old male with hemophilia presented with quadriparesis. The holo-spine magnetic resonance imaging with contrast showed a posterior cervicothoracic compressive epidural lesion extending from C3 to L1 consistent with an epidural hematoma. He underwent a C5 to T10 right-sided hemilaminectomy for clot removal, following which his motor deficits fully resolved. A literature review of SSEH attributed to hemophilia revealed that 28 of 38 cases were effectively treated conservatively, while only 10 cases warranted surgical decompression. Conclusion: Select patients with SSEH attributed to hemophilia with severe MR-documented cord/cauda equina compromise and significant accompanying neurological deficits may require emergent surgical decompression.
