Cauda equina syndrome in an obese parturient following cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia.
Article in Saudi journal of anaesthesia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cauda equine syndrome (CES) is the very rare complication especially after uneventful neuraxial anesthesia. A woman underwent a combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for cesarean section. Postoperatively 24 hours, she complained of paresthesia of the left leg, urinary retention, and saddle anesthesia. After checking magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CES was suspicious and medical treatment was initiated. During the 18-month follow-up, though perineal hypoesthesia and paresthesia of the left leg were recovered, urinary and fecal incontinence remained. This case demonstrates that CES may occur even after an uneventful combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) in obese patients with subclinical spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) and disc herniation.
