The concepts of Intra Spinal Pressure (ISP), Intra Thecal Pressure (ITP), and Spinal Cord Perfusion Pressure (SCPP) in acute, severe traumatic spinal cord injury: Narrative review.
Review in Brain & spine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04936620 (Duroplasty for Injured Cervical Spinal Cord With Uncontrolled Swelling), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
There is increasing interest in monitoring pressure from the injured spinal cord to guide the management of patients with acute, severe traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI). This is analogous to monitoring intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Here, we explore key concepts in this field and novel therapies that are emerging from these ideas. We argue that the Monro-Kellie doctrine, a fundamental principle in TBI, may also apply to TSCI as follows: The injured cord swells, initially displacing surrounding cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that prevents a rise in spinal cord pressure; once the CSF space is exhausted, the spinal cord pressure at the injury site rises. The spinal Monro-Kellie doctrine allows us to define novel concepts to guide the management of TSCI based on principles employed in the management of TBI such as intraspinal pressure (ISP), intrathecal pressure (ITP), spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP), spinal pressure reactivity index (sPRx), and optimum SCPP (SCPP
