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

A 43-year-old, previously healthy man experienced a decreased sensation in the left lower extremity without preceding spinal trauma. At presentation, the patient exhibited slight motor weakness in the left lower extremity, in addition to decreased pain sensation below the ipsilateral T7. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed abnormal findings consistent with idiopathic thoracic spinal cord herniation (ITSCH) at the T5/6 level. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a small vertebral erosion at the lower T5. The patient's symptoms gradually progressed over the next 3 years. MRI revealed marked lateral elongation of the cord at the T5/6 and apparent intravertebral cord herniation. The patient underwent ITSCH reduction through T5-6 laminectomies. The herniated cord was vertically long with a bulbous rostral part. Successful ITSCH reduction was achieved and the patient's postoperative course was uneventful. ITSCH is a progressive pathology that requires prompt surgical reduction. Certain ITSCHs may be complicated by intravertebral cord herniation.
