A Late Complication Related to Percutaneous Implantable Leads for Spinal Cord Stimulation: Myelopathy due to Fibrous Scar Tissue.
Article in NMC case report journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 59-year-old woman, after surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome, developed complex regional pain syndrome in her right upper limb. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) electrodes were placed at the C2-C5 level. A conventional low-frequency tonic stimulation was carried out, which attenuated pain. However, 4 years later, left-sided motor weakness and tolerance to SCS therapy occurred. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed epidural granulation tissue around the electrodes that severely compressed the cervical cord. We surgically removed the granuloma, which attenuated motor weakness. A histological examination showed that an allergic reaction to platinum or the insulator appeared responsible for fibrosis.
