One-stage posterior focus debridement, fusion, and instrumentation in the surgical treatment of cervicothoracic spinal tuberculosis with kyphosis in children: a preliminary report.
Trial report in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
purposeTo determine the efficacy and feasibility of surgical management of cervicothoracic tuberculosis accompanied by kyphosis in children by using one-stage posterior focus debridement, bone graft fusion, and instrumentation at a single institution.
methodsTen consecutive cases with cervicothoracic tuberculosis with kyphosis were treated with one-stage posterior focus debridement, bone graft fusion, and instrumentation. The mean follow-up was 36 months (range 26-47 months). The kyphotic angle ranged from 35° to 62° before operation, 50.5° in average. The American Spinal Injury Association score system was used to evaluate the neurological deficits.
resultsSpinal tuberculosis was completely cured in all ten patients. There was no recurrent tuberculous infection. The postoperative kyphotic angle was 10° to 22°, 17.5° in average, and there was no significant loss of the correction at the latest follow-up. Solid fusion was achieved in all cases. Neurological condition in all patients was improved after surgery.
conclusionsOne-stage posterior debridement, bone grafting, and instrumentation can be an effective treatment method of cervicothoracic spinal tuberculosis with kyphosis in children.
