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
introductionVertebral spondylodiscitis is a rare condition at the level of the cervical spine that can be deadly because of its potential complications. We present a rare case of acute laryngeal dyspnoea resulting from a cervical spine spondylodiscitis (CSS) with an underlying oesophageal fistula. CASE REPORT: A 70 year-old-man presented with swallowing disorders, dysphonia and laryngeal dyspnoea one day after a revision surgery for abdominal bowel evisceration. The MRI showed a multilevel spondylodiscitis extending from C4 to C7, associated with epiduritis and an anterior epidural abscess causing spinal cord compression. The treatment included temporary tracheotomy, the wearing of a cervical collar, intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics during 6 weeks and the interruption of food oral intake. The patient showed a good clinical improvement.
conclusionSpecial attention should be given to a fever or neck pain in patients with risk factors of CSS, such as history of head and neck cancer treated with radiotherapy. An urgent treatment is required to avoid complications such as compression of the recurrent laryngeal nerves, either a conservative one with antibiotics or a surgical one.
