1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAdult spinal deformity (ASD) is mostly a progressive disease which usually leads to chronic pain. Due to increased prevalence in older people many patients suffer from comorbidities, which make conservative and surgical treatment even more complex.

objectiveThis article provides an overview on the current conservative and surgical treatment options. MATERIAL AND

methodsAn extensive literature search was carried out via Medline plus an additional evaluation of the authors' personal experiences was performed.

resultsThe current conservative and surgical treatments are outlined and potential risk factors and predictors which may lead to inferior clinical outcome are discussed.

conclusionPatients for whom even conservative treatment leads to success should be identified earlier and better. The surgical treatment ranges from minimally invasive decompression to multilevel fusions. Complications in large corrective interventions can be substantial but if the indications are correctly assessed, such complex surgical treatment has excellent clinical results in terms of pain and quality of life.
