Analysis of factors related to prognosis and curative effect for posterolateral fusion of lumbar low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The objective of this study was to select factors related to the prognosis and curative effect for posterolateral fusion (PLF) of lumbar low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis (LGIS). Of 125 patients who accepted PLF treatment, 119 obtained solid union in this prospective study. Statistical analysis was used to evaluate factors related to the prognosis and curative effect. Spondylolisthetic position (L4, L5), gender and postoperative percent disc height were not significant factors for the prognosis and curative effect. Length of disease history (LDH), preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and postoperative percentage of slipping (% slip) were significantly related to postoperative JOA score and postoperative improved JOA score. LDH and postoperative % slip were significantly related to postoperative recovery rate. LDH, preoperative JOA score and postoperative % slip were independent related factors for the prognosis and improvement of LGIS. LDH and postoperative % slip were independent related factors for the curative effect. However, age, gender, spondylolisthetic position and postoperative percent disc height were not significant factors.
