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

We present a case of deep surgical site infection (SSI) at a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trial implantation site, resulting from an allergic reaction to an unknown agent. A 38-year-old female with complex regional pain syndrome began an SCS trial, noting 100% pain relief for 5 days. Fluid drainage from the surgical site was reported on POD6 and trial leads were removed the following day. The patient was hospitalized with sepsis. Blood cultures revealed
