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

Study DesignRetrospective cohort study.ObjectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of intraoperative bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR) monitoring for postoperative bowel dysfunction (PBD) following conus medullaris and cauda equina tumor (CMCET) resection.MethodsA total of 118 patients were analyzed. Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction Scores >6 at 1 month and 6 months postoperatively defined short- and long-term PBD. The amplitude reduction ratio (ARR) was calculated from bilateral BCR waveforms using the worst-side ARR for analysis. Multivariate logistic regression and ROC curve analysis determined independent predictors and optimal thresholds. Stratified 10-fold cross-validation confirmed threshold stability.ResultsPatients with short-term or long-term PBD had significantly higher ARRs than those without (
