Corpectomy and circumferential fusion for advanced thoracolumbar Kümmell's disease.
Article in Musculoskeletal surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the surgical treatment of neurologically compromised advanced Kümmell's disease. The surgical treatment of Kümmell's disease has various options according to clinical and radiologic status. Far collapsed Kümmell's disease patients with neurological deficit need to be treated surgically. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 22 patients operated to our hospital with neurologically compromised Kümmell's disease between January 2011 and January 2014. Surgical approach was vertebrectomy, mesh cage insertion and segmental cement-augmented pedicle screw fixation. Corpectomy tissue was examined histopathologically. Anterior vertebral heights, kyphotic angle, the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Frankel classification were used to evaluate the effects of the surgery.
resultsThe mean time of follow-up was 26 months (range, 13-40 months). The VAS, anterior vertebral heights, kyphotic angle and neurological state were improved significantly immediate postoperatively and at the last follow-up compared with the preoperative examinations (P < 0.05). Most of the patients in this study exhibited intravertebral clefts, and postoperative pathology revealed bone necrosis.
conclusionPosterior vertebrectomy with mesh cage insertion and segmental cement-augmented pedicle screw fixation is an effective option for advanced Kümmell's disease with neurological deficits.
