Minimally invasive reduction and percutaneous posterior fixation of one-level traumatic thoraco-lumbar and lumbar spine fractures.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionAlthough open procedures are the gold standard, the alternative approach of minimal invasive reduction using percutaneous screws for thoracic and lumbar spine fractures is under discussion. Aim of this study was to investigate the results of reduction and the accuracy of screw placement in minimally invasive percutaneous posterior instrumentation for these fractures. MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred and twenty-seven patients with thoraco-lumbar and lumbar burst fractures and minimal invasive dorsal instrumentation were analyzed retrospectively in terms of the accuracy of pedicle screw placement and results of fracture reduction.
resultsIn total, 542 screws were placed. Thirty-four (6.3%) screws of 22 patients (17.3%) were misplaced, but misplacement was minimal, replacement of any screw position due to instability was not necessary, and no new neurological deficit occurred. In thoraco-lumbar fractures (82/64.5%), reduction succeeded from 2.5 ± 6° kyphosis to 5.6 ± 5.7° lordosis (p < 0.001) and in lumbar spine fractures from 6.9° ± 10.3° lordosis to 14.5° ± 8.8° lordosis (p < 0.001).
conclusionMinimal invasive percutaneous dorsal instrumentation of burst fractures of the thoraco-lumbar and lumbar spine provides adequate reduction and reliable regular screw placement. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV (retrospective series).
