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

purposeTo study the risks of spondylolysis due to extrinsic loading conditions related to sports activities and intrinsic spino-pelvic postural parameters [pelvic incidence (PI) and sacral slope (SS)].

methodsA comprehensive osseo-disco-ligamentous L4-S1 finite element model was built for three cases with spondylolysis representing three different spino-pelvic angular configurations (SS = 32°, 47°, 59° and PI = 49°, 58°, 72°, respectively). After simulating the standing posture, 16 dynamic loading conditions were computationally tested for each configuration by combining four sport-related loads (compression, sagittal and lateral bending and axial torque). For each simulation, the Von Mises stress, L5-S1 facet contact force and resultant internal loads at the sacral endplate were computed. Significant effects were determined with an ANOVA.

resultsThe maximal stress and volume of cancellous bone in the pars with stress higher than 75% of the ultimate stress were higher with 900 N simulated compression (2.2 MPa and 145 mm

conclusionsCombined flexion and axial rotation with compression generated the highest stress conditions related to risks of spondylolysis. The stress conditions intensify in patients with higher PI and SS. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
