Cervical Myelopathy From Pseudogout: A Rare Case of Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition (CPPD), or pseudogout, typically affects joints like the knee and shoulder but can also deposit in spinal structures, sometimes leading to myeloradiculopathy with severe neck pain and upper limb weakness. Mild cases are managed with anti-inflammatory drugs, while severe cases require surgical decompression. We report a rare case of pseudogout causing cervical spine myelopathy at the C1-2 level, discovered during spine surgery and confirmed by pathology. After removing the deposits, the patient showed significant improvement, emphasizing the need to consider pseudogout in cases of acute neck pain with neurological symptoms.
