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

Serious neurological problems following spinal anesthesia are rare, although they can occur. We report a case of a 31-year-old female patient, parturient, Gravida 2 Para 1, with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 who had a paramedian approach spinal anesthesia using 23-gauge Quincke spinal needle for an emergent cesarean section due to failure to progress. Four attempts were required to achieve successful spinal blockade. The procedure was successfully performed with no complications. On the first postoperative day, the patient started to complain of pressure headache and abdominal pain radiating to the lower back. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lumbar spine revealed right peri-nephric and retroperitoneal subacute hematoma and no evidence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak or collection. Computed tomography (CT) angiography affirmed the diagnosis of large retroperitoneal hematoma extending to inferior vena cava, measuring about 5 × 15 × 16 cm in its maximum antero-posterior, transverse, and cranio-caudal diameters, respectively, corresponding to about 620 ml volume. No active bleeding was demonstrated.
