Pneumorrhachis Secondary to Klebsiella pneumoniae Gas-Forming Paraspinal Abscess: A Case report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Pneumorrhachis is a rare entity, where air pockets are found in the spinal canal and the etiology can be categorized into traumatic and non-traumatic, the latter further categorized into spontaneous, iatrogenic, and associated with infections. Infective causes are often associated with gas-forming organisms and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Often the diagnosis is not suspected until imaging is done. We report the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with fever, backache, lower leg weakness, and dysuria. A computed tomography scan for evaluation of intra-abdominal sepsis incidentally showed pneumorrhachis affecting the thoracic and lumbar levels, gas-forming paraspinal abscess, prostate abscess, liver cirrhosis, and sigmoid colon carcinoma.
