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

Tethered cord syndrome is a condition in which the spinal cord is tethered by pathological structures such as a tight filum terminale, intradural lipomas with or without a connecting extradural component, intradural fibrous adhesions, diastematomyelia, and neural placode adhesions following closure of a myelomeningocele.It usually occurs in childhood and adolescence as the spine grows in length, but it can also develop in adulthood. Symptoms of tethered cord syndrome are slowly progressive and varied. Incorrect diagnosis and inappropriate treatment may be provided if the physician lacks knowledge and understanding of this disease.This chapter aims to describe the pathophysiology, syndromes, diagnostic imaging, surgical treatment, and prognosis of tethered cord syndrome to enhance the understanding of this condition.
