Cortical bone trajectory screws for circumferential arthrodesis in lumbar degenerative spine: clinical and radiological outcomes of 101 cases.
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, 2018.

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
purposeThe use of cortical bone trajectory (CBT) pedicle screws for circumferential interbody fusion represents a viable alternative for single-level procedure with reduced invasiveness and less tissue destruction than the traditional technique. In addition, CBT screws have a potentially stronger pullout strength because of the greater amount of cortical bone intercepted. Only few series exist evaluating clinical and radiological outcomes of CBT screws.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study. All patients that underwent circumferential lumbar interbody fusion with CBT screws in our institution from 2014 to 2017 were reviewed. Patient demographics, clinical outcome with visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), radiological data such as fusion, lordosis and muscle trauma, operative blood loss, hospital stay and use of fluoroscopy were evaluated.
resultsA total of 101 patients undergoing CBT-arthrodesis for degenerative lumbo-sacral disease were reviewed. Mean procedural time was 187 min. The mean operative blood loss and X-ray dose per procedure was 383 ml and 1.60 mg cm
conclusionsThis is to our knowledge that the largest available study regarding CBT for circumferential arthrodesis. Results underlined the safety of this technique and the promising clinical and radiological outcomes that will need a longer follow-up.
