Association of clinical parameters of operatively treated thoracolumbar fractures with quality of life parameters.
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, 2013.

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
purposeThe intention of the current work was to assess the association between clinical parameters and seven different quality of life (QoL) instruments after surgical treatment of thoracolumbar spinal fractures after an average follow-up of 4.2 years.
methodsThe following human-related quality of life and PRO measures of 66 patients were correlated to clinical parameters such as fingertip-to-floor distance (FFD), Schober measurement, pressure and percussion pain in the lumbopelvine area (PPP), and paravertebral muscle tension: reALOS, SF-36, VAS, VAS spine score, BDI, the GBB-24, and the IES-R.
resultsOverall, there was a significant association between the clinical parameters of the thoracolumbar spine such as PPP, paravertebral muscle tension, FFD and Schober's sign on one side, and the seven tested instruments on the other side.
conclusionsPPP and FFD as well as a small Schober measurement are clinical parameters which significantly influence QoL after surgical treatment of thoracolumbar fractures.
