[Spondylotic cervical myelopathy : Indication of surgical treatment].
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 8 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 pathogenesis of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is often multifactorial. Hence, the treatment of this disease requires a differentiated surgical approach in order to adequately address the underlying pathology. PURPOSE: The aim of this review is to identify factors that influence the choice of treatment strategy and to summarize them in an algorithm that serves as a decision aid in choosing the optimal indication for surgical treatment. An attempt is made to define the threshold values for the indication of surgical treatment and to discuss the ideal timing for performing surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsOn the basis of the published data, the influencing factors on the prognosis of CSM, as well as surgical approaches are discussed.
resultsCircumferential spinal cord compression, a sharply defined myelopathy signal in the T2-weighted MRI sequence, and segmental instability at the level of the myelopathy signal mean an unfavorable prognosis for the worsening of CSM. The most important factors that influence the choice of the surgical access point are the sagittal profile of the cervical spine, the extent of myelopathy, the extent of stenosis, and the location of the myelopathy-inducing pathology. Previously existing neck pain and prior cervical surgery must also be considered. DISCUSSION: On the basis of the research carried out, we developed an algorithm that could serve as an aid in choosing the right treatment in the setting of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
