Multilevel posterior neural arch fractures of the lumbar spine: a rare complication due to prior malignant infantile osteopetrosis.

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
introductionOsteopetrosis is a heterogeneous group of inheritable bone disorderswhich manifest themselves as increased bone density and brittleness that leads to pathologicalfractures and bone deformities. Despite the propensity of patients to present with pathologicalfractures, there have been few reports of the spine being affected until now. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 23-year-old man who had previously had malignant infantile autosomal recessive osteopetrosis and complained of chronic back pain for several months. We found multilevel (L1-L5) neural arch stress fractures.
conclusionWhile single-level spondylolysis is not rare among young adults, multilevel fractures of neural arches in the lumbar vertebrae are suggestive of bone anomalies such as osteopetrosis. Fractures of the neural arch should be considered as a type of fracture that can occur more specifically in patients with osteopetrosis.
