Higher reoperation rate following cervical disc replacement in a retrospective, long-term comparative study of 715 patients.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
purposeTo evaluate rates of secondary surgical interventions in a cohort treated with fusion (ACDF), artificial disc replacement (ADR) or a posterior surgical procedure (PP) because of a cervical degenerative pathology.
methods715 patients treated with any primary cervical surgical intervention between the years 2000 and 2010 were retrospectively evaluated regarding frequency of secondary surgery between the years 2000 and 2015, thus giving a follow-up time of minimum 5 years. Reasons for secondary surgery as well as choice of new intervention were evaluated. Data were collected from a single-center setting.
resultsFollow-up rate was 94%. 79 (11%) patients in total underwent a new operation during follow-up. 50/504 (10%), 27/172 (15%), and 2/39 (5%) of the patients had a second surgical intervention in the ACDF, ADR, and PP groups, respectively. There was a statistically significant higher rate of repeated surgery in the ADR group compared to the ACDF group, OR 1.7 (CI 1.06-2.8), p = 0.03. Risk for repeated surgery at index level was even higher for ADR, OR 5.1 (CI 2.4-10.7), p < 0.001. Reoperation rate because of ASD in the whole cohort did not differ between ACDF and ADR groups, p = 0.40.
conclusionThe group initially treated with artificial disc replacement showed higher rate of reoperations and more implant-related complications. In this cohort, artificial disc replacement was not protective against reoperation because of adjacent segment pathology.
