Acute Transverse Myelitis in a Child Following Oral Live Polio Vaccine Administration.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Transverse myelitis is an urgent medical problem all over the world. Acute transverse myelitis is more common in children than in adults. Postvaccinal transverse myelitis is a rare complication of vaccination. In vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis, the virus mosaically infects the motor neurons of the anterior horns of the spinal cord, resulting in asymmetric paralysis of predominantly proximal muscles. Case Presentation: The case of acute transverse myelitis in a 12-year-old child corresponds to the existing definition of a vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis case: a temporal relationship between the onset of flaccid paralysis and the administration of oral polio vaccine and the duration of paralysis. The child developed flaccid paralysis 18 days after (August, 2024) the administration of oral polio vaccine and persisted for more than 60 days from the onset of the disease. Vaccine virus type 3 was isolated from the feces. However, the child received 2 doses of inactivated oral polio vaccine and 1 dose of bivalent (types 1 and 3) oral polio vaccine before the disease. The child did not have an increase in the titer of antibodies in paired sera to polioviruses types 1 and 3. Spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intramedullary focus with hyperintense MR signal on 2WI, 2FS at the level of the spinal cord cone (Th Conclusion: This article presents a clinical case of Acute transverse myelitis in a child after administration of live oral polio vaccine. We aimed to emphasize the importance of differential diagnosis of myelitis in a child who received OPV. This is important from the point of view of epidemiological surveillance of poliomyelitis and possible adverse reactions after vaccination.
