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

Background: Gelatin-based hemostatic agents are widely used in neurosurgery due to their effectiveness and general biocompatibility. However, rare adverse events such as foreign body granuloma (FBG) formation can occur. Case Description: Here, we report the case of a 52-year-old male who developed progressive neurological symptoms compatible with myelopathy following cervical decompression surgery in which Gelfoam Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of including FBG in the differential diagnosis of postoperative neurological deterioration whenever gelatin-based hemostatic agents are used.
