Recurrent complex spinal tuberculosis accompanied by sinus tract formation: causes of recurrence and clinical treatments.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Recurrent complex spinal tuberculosis accompanied by sinus tract formation is one of the most common and complex types of recurrent tuberculosis. To date, only very few studies have reported the strategies and effectiveness of surgical treatments on postoperative recurrent spinal tuberculosis accompanied by sinus tract formation. In this study, 21 recurrent patients out of 87 patients with complex spinal tuberculosis were reviewed. The data of the patients, including age, gender, existence of drug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis, postoperative standard chemotherapy, completeness of lesion debridement, reconstruction of the spinal stability, nutritional status, accompaniment by tuberculosis in other regions, timing of the operations, and areas of the lesions, were collected for single- and multiple-factor analyses. The clinical outcomes were evaluated by long-term follow-ups. The results showed that 7 factors were significantly associated with postoperative recurrence of complex spinal tuberculosis accompanied by sinus tract formation. This suggested that when we treat complex spinal tuberculosis, we should pay more attention to these seven indicators to avoid postoperative recurrence, and our clinical outcomes suggested that it is difficult to treat recurrent complicated spinal tuberculosis combined with sinus tract formation. The key for successful surgical treatment includes effective chemotherapy, radical debridement and proper reconstruction of spinal stability.
