Cervicodorsal Pott's Spine with Acute Onset Paraplegia Managed by Transmanubrial Anterior Decompression and Instrumentation: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2026. 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
Introduction: Cervical and cervicodorsal spinal tuberculosis is an uncommon presentation of Pott's spine but carries a high risk of neurological deterioration due to severe spinal canal compromise. Sudden-onset paraplegia without trauma is rare and represents an absolute indication for urgent surgical decompression. Adequate anterior exposure at the cervicodorsal junction may require an extended approach through the manubrium and sternum. Case Report: We present a rare case of cervicodorsal spinal tuberculosis in a 13-year-old male presenting with acute-onset paraplegia due to severe cord compression at the C7-T1 junction. The patient was successfully managed with urgent anterior decompression, T1 and T2 corpectomy, structural grafting, and anterior cervical plating through a transmanubrial approach, resulting in remarkable neurological recovery following combined surgical and antitubercular treatment. Conclusion: Pediatric cervicodorsal Pott's spine may present with sudden paraplegia without trauma or systemic symptoms. An extended anterior approach with manubriotomy facilitates adequate exposure and decompression. Early surgical intervention combined with antitubercular therapy results in favorable neurological outcomes.
