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

We reported a case of atypical spinal tuberculosis on the posterior elements of lumbar spine in a 52-year-old female. It was easy to be misdiagnosed as spinal tumor due to its imaging characteristics. We performed puncture biopsy to initially consider tuberculosis, and then the patient was accepted surgical treatment. The intraoperative removed specimen was sent to pathological examination, microbial culture, Xpert MTB/RIF and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and then the diagnosis of neural arch tuberculosis was confirmed. After operation, the patient obtained stable effect by anti-tuberculosis drug treatment. In a word, the uncommon case had an important reference significance for the diagnosis of atypical spine tuberculosis and differentiation from spinal tumors. It is critical to make right preliminary diagnosis by appropriate examination as it determined the next diagnosis and treatment in special and rare clinical cases.
