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

This case-control study aimed to investigate differences in the sagittal spinal parameters between the symptomatic spondylolisthesis patients and the general population. Twenty-nine adolescent patients with symptomatic lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis were included. For each patient, two age-matched, gender-matched and BMI-matched controls were enrolled. Comparison analyses detected higher values in the case group for the following parameters: CL (-22.06 ± 7.552° versus -20.36 ± 7.016°, P < 0.001), T1 Slope (19.84 ± 8.708° versus 13.99 ± 6.537°, P = 0.001), PT (21.54 ± 9.082° versus 8.87 ± 7.863°, P < 0.001), PI (64.45 ± 13.957° versus 43.60 ± 9.669°, P < 0.001), SS (42.90 ± 9.183° versus 34.73 ± 8.265°, P < 0.001), LL (-50.82 ± 21.596° versus -43.78 ± 10.356°, P = 0.042), SVA (16.99 ± 14.625 mm versus 0.32 ± 31.824 mm, P = 0.009), L5 Slope (33.95 ± 13.567° versus 19.03 ± 6.809°, P < 0.001), and L5I (8.90 ± 6.556° versus 1.29 ± 6.726°, P < 0.001). Conversely, TS-CL (6.56 ± 6.716° versus 11.04 ± 7.085°, P = 0.006), cSVA (11.31 ± 6.867 mm versus 17.92 ± 11.832 mm, P = 0.007), and TLK (-2.66 ± 10.101° versus 2.71 ± 7.708°, P = 0.007) were smaller in the case group. Slippage percentage was most correlated with PI (r = 0.530, P = 0.003), followed by PT (r = 0.465, P = 0.011) and L5I (r = 0.433, P = 0.019). Results of binary logistic regression showed that the main risk factor of isthmic spondylolisthesis was PI (OR = 1.145, 95%CI = 1.083-1.210, P < 0.001). Further subgroup analysis also showed that PI was the main risk factor of isthmic spondylolisthesis in the female adolescents (OR = 1.237, 95%CI = 1.086-1.493, P = 0.003) and in the male adolescents (OR = 1.523, 95%CI = 1.093-2.123, P = 0.013). PI was the main risk factor for adolescent symptomatic isthmic spondylolisthesis in the Chinese Han adolescents. The greater PI indicated the higher the progressive risk of spondylolisthesis. In these isthmic spondylolisthesis adolescents, the body always inclined forward and lumbar and cervical lordosis increased.
