First report of lumbar spinal epidural hematoma after pelvic ring fracture.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionSpinal epidural hematoma is a rare condition that most commonly occurs as a complication of spinal surgery. For patients with neurological deficits, surgical decompression can generally provide good outcome. CASE: A 56-year-old, otherwise healthy, patient was admitted to the orthopedic emergency department with a pelvic ring fracture. Over the course of 4 days, a lumbar spinal epidural hematoma developed, with the patient complaining of pain radiating to the S1 dermatome and saddle paresthesia. The hematoma was surgically decompressed, and the patient had a complete recovery. DISCUSSION: To our knowledge, this is the first report of a spinal epidural hematoma after pelvic ring fracture. The etiology of spinal epidural hematoma is diverse, but it is most frequently observed after spinal surgery. It has rarely been observed after lumbar spinal fractures, nearly exclusively in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
conclusionPelvic ring fracture might result in spinal epidural hematoma. The presence of neurological deficits after such fractures is an indication for lumbosacral MRI. Surgical decompression will generally resolve the neurological symptoms.
