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

objectivesTo assess if brake response times are altered pre and post CT-guided cervical spine nerve root injections.

methodsBrake response times were assessed before and after CT-guided cervical spine nerve root injections in a cohort of patients. The average of 3 brake response times was recorded before and 30 min after injection. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad. A paired Student t-test was used to compare the times before and after the injections.

resultsForty patients were included in this study. The mean age was 55 years. There were 17 male and 23 female patients. There was no significant difference in the mean pre and post CT-guided cervical spine nerve root injection brake response times; 0.94 s (range 0.4-1.2 s) and 0.93 s (range 0.5-1.25 s), respectively (P = .77).

conclusionsBrake response time did not significantly differ pre and 30 min post CT-guided cervical spine nerve root injections. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: To the authors' best knowledge, there are no current studies assessing brake response times post CT-guided cervical spine nerve root injections. While driving safety cannot be proven by a single metric, it is a useful study in demonstrating that this is not inhibited in a cohort of patients.
