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

Vertebro-medullary and epidural hydatidosis are a very rare entity, representing 2% of all locations, and is even rarer when it involves a solitary location. It is often asymptomatic. The diagnosis is usually made during complications, particularly medullary compression or extension to the costal cage, which represents a therapeutic emergency. Surgical treatment must be radical to prevent recurrences. We report 2 cases: the first case was a 61-year-old female involved costo-vertebral hydatidosis, and the second was an 18-year-old man with primary sacral epidural location. The objective of our report is to add these 2 atypical locations of hydatid cysts to the existing literature and to present their radiological images to aid radiologists in diagnosis.
