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

Syringomyelia resulting from arachnoiditis due to disseminated coccidioidomycosis meningitis has been previously established in the literature. Worsening syringomyelia after kyphotic cervical deformity correction in a patient with spinal coccidioidomycosis, however, has not yet been reported. Herein we present an extremely rare case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis with cystic cervical lesions and an associated syrinx which, after undergoing cervical kyphotic deformity correction in the setting of iatrogenic loss of cervical lordosis, experienced acute syrinx expansion requiring urgent syringosubarachnoid shunt. To our understanding, this is the first case reported of such an event.
