Ten-year follow-up results of posterior instrumentation without fusion for traumatic thoracic and lumbar spine fractures.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThis retrospective study aims to present and evaluate the long follow-up results of posterior instrumentation without fusion in patients with traumatic thoracic and lumbar fractures.
methods45 patients were operated. The mean follow-up period was 147.6 months. Sagittal plane kyphosis (SPK) and anterior wedge angle (AWA) were evaluated in preoperative and follow-up.
resultsSPK and AWA improved significantly in the early postoperative. However, the correction was lost in the 10-year follow-up. The loss of correction was statistically significant in SPK and AWA.
conclusionPosterior instrumentation without fusion is still among the most useful in treatment of traumatic thoracolumbar fractures.
