1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

STUDY

designTechnical note.

objectiveWe describe a novel technique of bilateral longitudinal sacral osteotomy allowing direct reduction of high pelvic incidence (PI) and correction of sagittal imbalance.

methodsA 25-year-old female patient presented with a disabling lumbo-sacral kyphosis fused in situ through previous operations with residual low-grade wound infection and grade IV L5/S1 spondylolisthesis with severity index (SI) of 65%. A two-stage correction was performed. First anterior in situ fixation of the L4-L5-S1 segments was performed using a hollow modular anchorages (HMA) screw and L3/L4 anterior interbody cage. The second stage consisted of instrumentation of the lower lumbar spine and pelvis; placement of an S1 transverse K-wire as pivot point and bilateral longitudinal sacral osteotomy which allowed for gradual retroversion of the central sacrum relative to the pelvis.

resultsSacrum was derotated by 30° which allowed to restore spinal sagittal balance and decrease SI by 15%. Postoperative recovery was complicated by a flare up of the pre-existing deep wound infection.

conclusionsBilateral longitudinal sacral osteotomy appears to be a safe and efficient way of correcting the sagittal imbalance caused by an extremely high PI. Although technically demanding, it achieves good radiological and functional outcomes and avoids entering the spinal canal.
