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

backgroundOwing to the lack of evidence on the diagnostics, clinical course, treatment, and outcomes of patients with extremely rare spinal intradural abscess (SIA) and spinal epidural abscess (SEA), we retrospectively analyzed and compared a cohort of patients to determine the phenotyping of both entities.

methodsOver a period of 20 years, we retrospectively analyzed the electronic medical records of 78 patients with SIA and SEA.

resultsThe patients with SIA showed worse motor scores (MS scores) on admission (SIA: 20 ± 26 vs. SEA: 75 ± 34,

conclusionsOur study highlighted distinct clinical phenotypes and outcomes between both entities, with SIA patients displaying a markedly less favorable disease course in terms of complications and outcomes.
