Myelofibrosis as an Unusual Cause of Back Pain: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Low back pain and, to a lesser degree, associated flank pain are common presentations to an integrative musculoskeletal clinic. Most cases have a neuromusculoskeletal or, less commonly, a urological etiology. Myelofibrosis is a chronic, uncommon blood neoplasm. Here, we describe the clinical presentation and diagnostic workup of a 76-year-old male who complained of back and side pain that did not respond to an initial trial of care. The case is followed through the diagnostic process, leading to the final diagnosis of myelofibrosis. This case emphasizes the need for further workup and a broad-spectrum differential diagnosis in cases of back and flank pain that do not respond to care, including consideration of myelofibrosis as a rare etiology.
