Does kyphotic deformity correlate with functional outcomes in fractures at the thoracolumbar junction treated by 360° instrumented fusion?
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sagittal balance and its relationship with back pain and functional outcomes has become an important factor in the management of thoracolumbar fractures. The kyphosis threshold at the thoracolumbar junction (TLJ) that produces a significant functional impairment remains unclear. Ninety-four patients who were treated surgically for TLJ fractures were evaluated after a follow-up period of 2-10 years. Functional evaluation based on the Oswestry and Hannover Scores (HS) was performed. Additionally, such patients underwent clinical and radiological evaluation. A significant inversely proportional correlation between the HS and the degrees of local kyphosis ("K-Angle") (p = 0.0172) was found. A significant directly proportional correlation between Oswestry Score and "K-Angle" (p = 0.0142) was found. Significantly poorer scores with both measurement tools (Hannover and Oswestry Scores) were found in patients with a kyphosis higher than 12°.
