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

This case report is unique due to the rare combination of a history of no trauma and a history of scoliosis correction surgery with instrumentation performed 1 year before presentation. A 23-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department in a stable condition and he looked well. He was able to walk without any limitation, but complained of left upper back pain for 2 days after a sneezing episode. The patient denied history of chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, palpitation, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The chest X-ray showed left first rib fracture, and computed tomography scan of the chest without contrast that was performed to diagnose rib fracture or complications confirmed the diagnosis. This case study concludes that the left first rib fracture is rare in postoperative scoliosis without a history of trauma.
