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.

2 · The registry

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

Posttraumatic kyphosis (PTK) is a possible consequence of a missed fracture, a wrong indication for conservative therapy or an inadequate surgical technique but PTK can also be a complication after adequate surgery. Avoidance of PTK is of importance because subsequent surgical therapy can be extensive. A thorough planning as well as surgical experience with anterior and posterior revision cases is necessary. The various types of osteotomy which allow correction of local as well as global deformities should also be mastered. Knowledge of the principles of sagittal balance and spinopelvic parameters are indispensable in the treatment of PTK. Our experience and results from the literature show that a good long-term outcome with limited complications can only be achieved when considering the biomechanical principles as well as restoration of sagittal balance.
