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
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of extreme lateral channel debridement and fusion combined with posterior fixation for lumbar spinal tuberculosis. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 17 patients with lumbar spinal tuberculosis undergoing extreme lateral channel debridement and fusion combined with posterior fixation between December 2008 and December 2014. There were 10 males and 7 females, aged 20-69 years (mean, 42.6 years). The disease duration was 1-6 months (mean, 3.4 months). The involved segments included L Results: The operation was successfully performed in 17 patients, and pathological examination showed tuberculosis. All cases were followed up 24-48 months (mean, 35.3 months). Lumbar X-ray film and CT showed that necrotic bone and abscess were cleared completely, and lumbar kyphosis correction was satisfactorily in all cases. Bony fusion was achieved within 6 months, and clinical cure was obtained within 18 months in all cases; no recurrence was found during follow-up period. No loosening or breakage of internal fixation was observed. At last follow-up, ASIA classification was recovered to grade D and grade E from grade C in 2 cases, to grade E from grade D in 11 cases and had no change in 2 cases (grade D). Two cases of ASIA grade E showed no neurological deficit. The VAS score, JOA score, Barthel index, and lumbar kyphotic Cobb angle were significantly improved at 2 weeks after operation and at last follow-up when compared with preoperative ones ( Conclusion: To use extreme lateral channel debridement and fusion combined with posterior fixation is an effective treatment for lumbar spinal tuberculosis.
