Postoperative myelitis subsequent to cervical spine radiofrequency ablation: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Commonly used minimally invasive treatment for cervical spondylotic diseases, cervical spine radiofrequency ablation (RFA) provides benefits of faster recovery and less trauma. However, data on the monitoring and management of postoperative complications, especially severe adverse events like myelitis, is limited. This case report details a 75-year-old female patient with a medical history of hypertension, cerebral infarction, and hyperlipidemia who subsequently developed myelitis after undergoing cervical spine radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The patient received effective treatment following a sequence of diagnostic and therapeutic measures, highlighting the risk of severe complications and the vital necessity of maintaining rigorous aseptic protocols during the procedure. This report extensively discusses the etiology of myelitis in this patient and explores the direct or indirect role of RFA in the development of myelitis.
