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

Radicular back pain is defined as low back pain radiating into the lower extremities in a dermatomal pattern caused by compression or irritation of the nerve root. Fluoroscopy is an excellent tool for the management of lower limb radiculopathies that are secondary to discogenic pathologies not responding to the conservative trial. Transforaminal epidural steroid injection technique is a minimally invasive intervention for radiculopathies, which can easily be done in a day care setting, and it should be considered before surgery; however, precision and expertise is required.
