A case of acute-onset paraplegia due to spinal tuberculosis in term pregnancy.
Article in Obstetric medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Acute paraplegia in pregnancy is uncommon but can result from pathology including Guillain-Barre syndrome, acute transverse myelitis, and spinal tuberculosis, also known as Pott's disease of the spine. India has a high incidence of tuberculosis (2.8 million cases annually) therefore spinal tuberculosis is a particularly important disease to consider during pregnancy. Management of spinal tuberculosis in pregnancy poses a challenge especially at term gestation as immobilization of the spine and maintaining supination is difficult, particularly at delivery.
