Osteopetrosis complicated by multilevel spondylolysis.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Osteopetrosis is a heterogenous group of inheritable disorders which manifests as increased bone density and brittleness. The most common and mildest variant typically presents in adulthood with bone pain and pathologic fractures, including spondylolysis. We present the case of an otherwise healthy, active 17-year-old male with a history of osteopetrosis and 1 year of chronic back pain, found to have multilevel (L1-L4) spondylolysis in the setting of severe diffuse bony sclerosis consistent with osteopetrosis. While single-level spondylolysis is an uncommon complication of osteopetrosis, multilevel spondylolysis in the pediatric population is extremely rare and the genetics of prior cases studies have not been reported. Spondylolysis should be considered as one of the types of fractures that may occur in patients with osteopetrosis.
