Predictors of outcomes after posterior decompression and fusion in degenerative spondylolisthesis.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
No consensus has been reached regarding surgical management of degenerative spondylolisthesis. The optimal type of surgical procedure and surgical indications have not been precisely defined. In order to screen for predictors of outcome, we retrospectively studied patient outcomes after posterior decompression and fusion for isolated lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis. Twenty-four consecutive patients (age range 50-78 years) underwent primary surgery for isolated lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis. The surgical procedure consisted of posterior decompression and pedicle screw instrumented fusion using autogeneous bone graft, with or without interbody fusion. Clinical and radiologic status were assessed using the Beaujon functional score and plain AP and lateral radiographs. A multivariate analysis was used to correlate the functional score increase with surgical procedure modifications and preoperative clinical and radiologic features in order to determine which of them led to better results. Eighteen patients completed the evaluation. Six others were lost to follow-up after a minimum of 0.87 years. Combining all the results, the mean follow-up was 2.87 years. The Beaujon score was improved in the 24 patients (P<0.001), and fusion was successful in all cases. Additional interbody fusion and preoperative leg pain were significantly correlated with larger score increase (P=0.016 and P=0.003). Posterior decompression and fusion is successful in treating lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis. From this study, circumferential fusion improves the outcomes and leg pain is a fair indication for surgery.
