Relevance of Lumbar Subcutaneous Edema and Local Lordosis.
Article in Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 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
Lumbar subcutaneous edema (LSE) is sometimes found within the deep subcutaneous or perifascial tissue on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) via short-tau inversion recovery or fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging. It is more likely to occur in older patients and those with obesity. However, no studies have focused on the association between LSE and local alignment. Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate such an association. This retrospective study included 111 adult symptomatic patients who underwent lumbar plain MRI in a single institution. Patient demographics and the radiographical characteristics of the LSE and non-LSE groups were analyzed. LSE was detected in 30 (27.0%) patients. The L1-S1 angle was significantly lower in the LSE group (P = 0.033), whereas the sacral slope was not different between the groups (P > 0.05). As previously reported, the patients in the LSE group were older (P < 0.001) and had lower body weight (P = 0.015). This study demonstrates that older age and age-related hypolordosis were associated with a significantly higher frequency of LSE.
