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
introductionVentral thoracoscopic spondylodesis of the thoracolumbar spine is an elegant treatment strategy. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn the years 2002 and 2003 a total of 16 patients with incomplete cranial burst fractures were treated by ventral thoracoscopic monosegmental spondylodesis and were included in this study prospectively. The data acquisition was done preoperatively, postoperatively and after 3, 6, 12 and 18 months. After 6 years a follow-up examination was performed in 13 of these patients (5 men and 8 women, average age 36.3 years, follow-up rate 81%) and 8 patients were treated ventrally only whereas 5 patients were treated dorsoventrally.
resultsThe operative reduction of the kyphotic malalignment was superior in the dorsoventrally treated patients. The persistent gain of monosegmental correction after 6 years seemed to be higher in the patient group treated dorsoventrally. The average physical component summary (PSC) scores were comparable to a control group of the same age and revision surgery was performed in two patients both related to the iliac crest bone graft.
conclusionsThe ventral and dorsoventral therapy strategies showed good and very good functional outcomes, respectively. The dorsoventral treatment concept secured a persistent gain of monosegmental correction which seemed to be superior compared to a ventral only therapy strategy.
