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: Gelatin foam has been regularly used the complex neuro and spinal surgeries for a long time. Apart from their hemostatic properties, these are inert and provide form an inert membrane that prevents scar adhesions o vital structures such as the brain or spinal cord. Case Presentation: We present a case of cervical myelopathy due to an ossified posterior longitudinal ligament that underwent the instrumented posterior decompression and had neurological worsening 48 h after the index surgery. An magnetic resonance imaging showed a hematoma compressing the spinal cord which on exploration was confirmed to be a gelatin sponge. It represents the rare phenomenon of mass effect due to their osmotic properties, especially in a closed space causing neurologic deterioration. Conclusion: We emphasize the rare cause of early onset quadriparesis after the posterior decompression due to the swollen gelatin sponge over the neural elements. The patient recovered with timely intervention.
