Maverick total disc arthroplasty performs well at 10 years follow-up: a prospective study with HRQL and balance analysis.

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
purposeThe treatment of low back pain associated to Disc Degenerative Disease (DDD) is still controversial. Segmental Fusion is the gold standard, but many studies have reported that motion-preserving devices bring substantial clinical benefits to patients. Concerns on the associated complications and on the long-term clinical effectiveness of such instrumentations are still present and have led recently to a decrease of the number of Lumbar Total Disk Replacements (TDR). The objective of this prospective study is to present the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the Maverick Lumbar disk prostheses (Medtronic, TE, Memphis, USA) at long-term follow-up.
methodsProspective, single center study of clinical outcome of the treatment with Maverick lumbar Prosthesis of patients with low back pain from DDD resistant to conservative treatment. Patients were examined preoperatively and at 3 months, 2 and 10 years post-operatively. Patients were examined preoperatively and at 3 months, 2 and 10 years post-operatively. Visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI) and 36-Item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire were assessed to study clinical outcomes. Radiographic studies allowed measurements of range of motion, adjacent segment disease and pelvic and lumbar parameters.
resultsFrom an initial cohort of 87 patients who underwent TDR between 2003 and 2007 with the Maverick prosthesis, 61 were available at Final follow-up (70%). The clinical outcomes measured by VAS and ODI showed a significant improvement in all the postoperative stages of the follow-up (FU). At 10 years-FU, ODI experienced a mean decrease of 21.1 points, VAS for back pain decreased up to 3.85 and substantial clinical benefit was reached for 55.6% of the patients. Although Mobility of the prosthesis was preserved in 76.8% of the cases, TDR was not clearly protective against ALD.
conclusionsA significant, clinically relevant, and lasting reduction of back pain has been achieved in patients who underwent a total disk arthroplasty or a Hybrid construct with Maverik prosthesis. TDR is a safe and effective technique to decrease pain in patients with one or two levels of DDD.
