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

Facet joint injections are generally safe to perform with a low incidence of adverse events. There are few published reports of neurological complications occurring following procedures at the facet joint or cervical epidural space. However, complications from local anaesthetic infiltration to the skin and surrounding tissue have not been reported. We report a case of transient tetraplegia after local anaesthetic infiltration to the skin in preparation for cervical facet joint injection. We discuss potential reasons for this complication and suggest practice modifications which could reduce the risk.
