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

A 78-year-old woman developed groin and thigh pain, numbness, and hip flexion weakness. Imaging revealed cement leakage from an L4 screw into the psoas, compressing a lumbar plexus branch. Using a spinal robotic system (ExcelsiusGPS, Globus Medical, Inc., Audubon, PA), a minimally invasive approach enabled precise incision planning, safe psoas dissection, and en bloc cement removal. Symptoms resolved immediately. Symptomatic intrapsoas cement leakage causing radiculopathy is rare, and robotic guidance contributed to a safe, accurate procedure.
