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

Background: Spontaneous spinal subdural-epidural hematoma during pregnancy is rare. Case Description: A 29-year-old gravida II patient experienced the onset of vomiting, headache, and progressive paraparesis. The initial non-contrast brain computed tomography and coagulation profiles were negative. The next day, the spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a C7-T4 epidural hematoma; contrast studies revealed no accompanying vascular lesions. On day 3, she underwent a cesarean delivery followed by a C3-T1 laminectomy. Her sensory and sphincteric function returned on postoperative day 2, but at 6 postoperative months, she continued to exhibit a 3/5 paraparesis. Conclusion: Pregnant patients with acute paraparesis should undergo STAT MRI screening of the spine to look for epidural/subdural hematomas.
