One-stage posterior focus debridement, fusion, and instrumentation in the surgical treatment of lumbar spinal tuberculosis with kyphosis in children.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and feasibility of one-stage posterior focus debridement, fusion, and instrumentation in the surgical treatment of lumbar spinal tuberculosis with kyphosis in children.
methodsFrom December 2007 to May 2012, 13 patients (six males and seven females) suffering from lumbar spinal tuberculosis with kyphosis were admitted. All patients were treated with one-stage posterior focus debridement, fusion, and instrumentation. Then, the clinical efficacy was estimated by statistical analysis based on the data about Frankel grade, the Cobb angle of kyphosis, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), which were collected at certain time.
resultsThe age of all patients ranged from 5 to 13 years (average, 8.8 years). Operation time ranged from 120 to 190 min (average, 165 min). Intraoperative blood loss ranged from 200 to 800 ml (average, 460 ml). All patients were followed up for 24 to 57 months postoperatively (average, 33.5 months). The Cobb angle was changed significantly between preoperation and postoperation (P < 0.05), and there was no significant loss at the last follow-up. The preoperation ESR (62.5 ± 15.7) returned to normal (16.6 ± 8.1) within 3 months postoperatively in all patients (P < 0.05). Bone fusion was achieved within 3-5 months (average, 3.5 months). In the 13 cases, no postoperative severe complications occurred and neurologic function improved in various degrees.
conclusionThe outcomes of follow-up showed that one-stage posterior focus debridement, fusion, and instrumentation can be an effective treatment method for the lumbar spinal tuberculosis with kyphosis in children.
