Incidental Thoracic Th1 Spina Bifida Occulta Detection Following Sports Injury: A Case Report with Comprehensive Radiological Insights.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. 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
Introduction: Spina bifida is a neural tube defect and the incidence in the thoracic region is extremely rare. We reported an incidental finding of thoracic spina bifida occulta at the first thoracic vertebra following a sport-related injury. Case Report: A 28-year-old male presented to our emergency department; the patient complained of middle thoracic back pain without any sensory-motor deficits after a fall during a football game. An X-ray and a thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan were performed and highlighted an incomplete fusion of the Th1 spinous process and lamina. A follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed a few months after diagnosis showed no underlying associated complications. Conclusion: This case report highlights a rare instance of thoracic spina bifida occulta at the TH1 vertebra. This case was initially misdiagnosed, and through radiographic, CT, and MRI findings, the report contributes valuable insights for radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and neurosurgeons about spina bifida occulta.
