Realignment surgery in adult spinal deformity : Prevalence and risk factors for proximal junctional kyphosis.
Review in Der Orthopade, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Although surgical techniques pertaining to adult spinal deformity (ASD) have advanced over the last decade, proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is still a complication following surgery for ASD that continues to significantly challenge clinicians. This article aimed to report on the prevalence of PJK as well as enhance understanding of surgically modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors of PJK to guide management of this postoperative complication of ASD. As the understanding of the pathogenesis as well as surgical modifications aimed at reducing the incidence of PJK have advanced, so too should clinicians' ability to implement more patient-specific operative plans and improve outcomes following realignment surgery for ASD.
