Cauda equina syndrome due to posttraumatic syringomyelia in conus medullaris - A case report.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Most posttraumatic syringomyelias occur in the cervical or thoracic spinal cord, where they contribute to myelopathic deficits. Here, a 40-year-old patient presented with the left leg monoparesis due to syringomyelia involving the conus medullaris 10 years after an L2 vertebral "crush" fracture. Case Description: Ten years following an L2 vertebral "crush" fracture, a 40-year-old male presented with the new onset of left lower leg paresis. The magnetic resonance imaging showed a T12-L1 syrinx associated with accompanying high-intensity areas above the syrinx located between the T11 and T12 levels. One month after placing a syringosubarachnoid (SS) shunt, both the syrinx and high-intensity area rapidly disappeared, and the left distal motor weakness resolved. Conclusion: Ten years following an L2 "crush" fracture, a 40-year-old male presented with the new onset of a cauda equina syndrome secondary to a posttraumatic T12-L1 syringomyelia causing expansion of the conus medullaris.
