Osteotomies in ankylosing spondylitis: where, how many, and how much?
Review 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, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 papers.
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
introductionThis article presents the current concepts of correction of spinal deformity in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. Untreated AS can be a debilitating disease. In a few patients, disease progression results in severe spinal deformity affecting not only the thoracolumbar, but also the cervical spine. Surgery for correction in AS patients has a long history. With the advent of modern instrumentation, standardization of surgical and anesthesiologic techniques, surgical safety and corrective results could be improved and experiences from lumbar osteotomies could be transferred to the cervical spine.
methodsThis article presents the current concepts of correction of spinal deformity in AS patients. In particular, questions regarding the localization and number of osteotomies, the optimal surgical target angle as well as planning and prediction of postoperative alignment are discussed.
resultsInsight into recent technical developments, current challenges with correction and geometric analysis of center of rotation (COR) in cervical 3-column osteotomies (3CO) will be presented.
conclusionThe article should encourage readers to improve surgical correction efficacy and provide a better understanding of correction geometry in 3CO for thoracolumbar and cervical spinal deformities.
