Review 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, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07170007 (Physiotherapeutic Protocol Compared to Usual Care in the Treatment of Postpartum Primiparas After Perineal Trauma), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

The number of economic evaluations in the field of spinal disorders and methodological studies have increased in the last decade. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of current views on economic evaluations in the field of spinal disorders and to facilitate clinicians to interpret and use results from these studies. A full economic evaluation compares both costs and effects of two or more interventions. Key elements of economic evaluations such as identifying adequate alternatives, analytical perspective, cost methodology, missing values and sensitivity analyses are addressed. Further emphasis is placed on the interpretation of results of economic evaluations conducted alongside randomised clinical trials. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios, cost-effectiveness planes, acceptability curves and cost-effectiveness thresholds are discussed. The contents may aid in taking the efficacy 'hurdle' in the field of spinal disorders.
