Impact and clinical significance of pedicle length on spinal canal and intervertebral foramen area.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 aim of this study was to measure changes in the cross-sectional area of the spinal canal and the area of the intervertebral foramen for each pedicle segment before and after the pedicle extension using computer-simulated transpedicular osteotomy to provide a theoretical basis for clinical decompression in the lumbar spinal canal. Using spiral CT scanning of the original lumbar spine, a finite element model was established. The pedicle was cut and extended by 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm for respective modeling. The changes in the area of each plane of the vertebral canal and the area of the intervertebral foramen were measured. With the gradual extension of the pedicle, the areas of the spinal canal and intervertebral foramen also significantly increased compared with those of the original lumbar spine (P<0.05). The extension of the pedicle using transpedicular osteotomy can significantly increase the cross-sectional area of the lumbar canal and the area of the intervertebral foramen. This finding provides a new theoretically practicable method for the clinical decompression of the lumbar spinal canal.
