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

introduction and importancePostoperative spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEDH) is a rare complication in clinical practice. Despite its rarity, SSEDH is a critical emergency situation associated with neurological deficits, and improper or delayed management may lead to severe consequences. Therefore, surgical operators should familiarize themselves with SSEDH and give it more attention. CASE PRESENTATION: This study describes the case of an elderly woman diagnosed with a left unilateral femoral neck fracture, severe osteoporosis, and multi-segmental vertebral compression fracture. Following artificial femoral head replacement surgery, the patient developed postoperative SSEDH. Subsequently, the patient underwent surgical removal of the posterior epidural hematoma and spinal cord decompression. The postoperative recovery was favorable, with normal muscle strength and tension in both lower limbs. A 4-year follow-up showed no complications. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The occurrence of SSEDH during the perioperative period of non-spinal surgeries is relatively uncommon. However, SSEDH is a neurosurgical emergency associated with neurological deficits, and prompt surgical intervention is crucial for successful treatment.

conclusionClinicians should enhance their knowledge of SSEDH and remain vigilant towards this condition. Literature review highlights the significance of factors such as aging in the development of SSEDH following non-spinal surgeries in the perioperative period.
