Evaluation of TLICS for thoracolumbar fractures.
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, 2016.

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
purposeThoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TILCS), facilitates the communication between physicians, and guides to treatment decision with better outcome. A composite injury severity score is calculated from these characteristics stratifying patients into operative and non-operative treatment. Aim of this study is to identify the effectiveness of TLICS scoring for thoracolumbar vertebral fractures without neurological deficits and the efficacy of conservative treatment in patients with TILCS 4.
methods58 patients with thoracolumbar fracture were included. 38 patients with TLICS 1-3 (group A) and 20 patients with TLICS 4 (group B) treated conservatively, were evaluated with traditional two-plain radiographic examination, CT-scan and MRI. The pain and functional scales were used in the clinical evaluation. Local kyphosis angle, sagittal index and height loss percentage were measured in the radiologic evaluation. Mean follow-up period was 28 months. Post-fracture and follow-up values were compared. Functional scores and clinical outcomes of the groups were compared.
resultsThe mean pain (1 = worse pain, reverse-VAS) and functional scores at the final follow-up were 8.2 and 86 points, respectively (group A), 6.4 and 76 points (group B). The mean period for returning to work was 3.2 (group A) and 3.8 months (group B). Comparing the two groups did not demonstrate any statistical difference of their clinical and functional outcomes.
conclusionThe study's results demonstrate that conservative treatment for TLICS 4 thoracolumbar fractures can be safely applied. The conservative treatment of cases scoring TLICS 4 is equally effective to those scoring ≤3.
