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

Purpose: To describe the clinical significance of prompt, adequate, and targeted intravenous antibiotic (IV antibiotic) therapy in the successful management of spinal epidural abscess (SEA) associated with Case description: SEA is a rare, but catastrophic infection that may result in a high risk of permanent neurological disability. A 52-year-old Chinese female patient was presented to the emergency department due to 2 years of low back pain and 3 days of decreased muscle strength in the extremities. The blood culture confirmed the presence of Conclusion: Repeat examinations or gadolinium-enhanced MRI should be considered when initial MRI findings are not diagnostic of SEA. For extensive SEA caused by
