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

Electrophysiological examination of the pelvic floor plays a crucial role in localizing nerve damage in pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). Spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is a space-occupying disease of the spinal canal. SEL can cause spine-related symptoms. We report a case of SEL with pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms and provide two sets of pelvic floor electrophysiological data, before and after disease progression. This case highlights the potential utility of electrophysiological assessment in the early diagnosis and monitoring of SEL.
