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

purposeTo report a rare case of isolated lumbar vertebral body infarction following lumbar artery embolization for suspected retroperitoneal haemorrhage.

methodsWe present the case of a 75-year-old male who underwent lumbar artery embolization due to a suspected retroperitoneal haemorrhage post-surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed to monitor post-embolization severe lumbar pain.

resultsInitial MRI two days post-embolization showed no osseous signal changes or epidural abscess. A subsequent MRI 26 days post-embolization was performed because of increasing lumbar back pain and it revealed a new bone infarction at the L3 vertebral body. CT showed embolization deposits within the vertebral body, not present before the procedure.

conclusionThis unique case underscores the importance of considering vertebral body infarction as a potential complication following lumbar artery embolization. MRI was critical in early detection of the bone infarction, while CT confirmed the presence of embolization material. Awareness of this rare complication is crucial for prompt diagnosis and management.
