Pedicle screw insertion techniques: an update and review of the literature.
Review in Musculoskeletal surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 56 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Pedicle screw construct have become one of the most practiced procedure in spinal surgery. Despite commonly used, questions remain about their safety especially for the thoracic spine and in deformity where difficulty in positioning can lead to pedicle breach and adjacent structures injury. Misplacement rates have been reported to be from 5 to 41% in the lumbar spine and from 3 to 55% in the thoracic spine. Hence, various procedures have been described in order to improve pedicle screw insertion accuracy. Aim of this study is to evaluate current concepts on pedicle screws placement techniques to better understand recent attitude and clarify some doubts when selecting the most proper method.
