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

Background: Spinal subdural hematoma (SDH) is a very rare complication of percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty. Here, a 66-year-old male developed delayed-onset spinal SDH following kyphoplasty. Case Description: A 66-year-old male with a history of atrial fibrillation on Eliquis developed a SDH on day 4 following a T3 single-level kyphoplasty for an osteoporotic compression fracture. The patient presented with progressive lower extremity motor/sensory paralysis that eventually ascended to the cervical region. The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a large dorsal subdural hematoma extending from T1 to S2. The patient underwent a decompressive laminectomy for hematoma to remove cement fragments and repair a dural tear. Postoperatively, the patient partially recovered sensation but no motor function and expired in the intensive care unit due to major comorbid factors. Conclusion: SDH is a potentially serious risk of performing a kyphoplasty. This is particularly true for patients on anticoagulants who should be stringently monitored with MR if indicated to avoid a major postoperative hemorrhage and paralysis.
