Contiguous Burst Fractures of the Lumbar Spine.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Burst fractures of vertebrae are usually caused by high-energy axial compression force, mostly caused by fall from height or road traffic accidents. They frequently occur at the thoracolumbar junction mostly requiring surgery. Contiguous burst fractures involving multiple lumbar vertebrae are uncommon. This case is a male in his early 40s presented with low back pain and weakness of lower limbs following an injury sustained during a road traffic accident. Clinically, the patient had a bilateral foot drop. On radiological evaluation, he was diagnosed to have L3 and L4 burst fractures with spinal canal occlusion. He underwent posterior stabilization from L2-L5 and decompression at the L3-L4 level. At one-year follow-up, the patient was pain-free with complete neurological recovery. Contiguous lumbar spine burst fractures are very rare in occurrence. Though burst fractures are managed surgically to provide stability, the surgical approaches depend on the individual fracture pattern, degree of spinal canal occlusion, and neurological status.
