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
Introduction: Non-traumatic spinal cord injury (NTSCI) represents a medical-surgical emergency. In Burkina Faso, limited data exist on the etiological profiles of this syndrome in rheumatology. This study aimed to describe the etiological profile of NTSCI in the Rheumatology Department of the University Hospital Center of Bogodogo (CHU-B). Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional, retrospective study with descriptive and analytical aims, conducted from March 1, 2017, to December 31, 2023, in the Rheumatology Department of CHU-B. Patients diagnosed with non-traumatic spinal cord compression syndrome during hospitalization were included. Results: The frequency in the Rheumatology Department of NTSCI was 2.94%, accounting for 104 patients. There were 68 men (65.38%), with a sex ratio of 1.88. The average age of the population was 57.91 years. All patients experienced back pain, with a lumbar location in 77 patients (74.04%). The average duration of the motor deficit was 2.97 months. A total of 3,532 patients were admitted to the conventional hospitalization unit of the Rheumatology Department at the CHU-B from March 1, 2017, to December 31, 2023. Among these, 104 patients had NTSCI, yielding a frequency of 2.94%. Spinal MRI was performed in 58 patients (55.77%), and the compression was extradural in 76.92% of cases ( Conclusions: Non-traumatic spinal cord injury is relatively rare in rheumatological practice in Ouagadougou. The etiology is predominantly Pott's disease, which confirms the geographical distribution of NTSCI causes.
