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

Posterior spinal reconstruction with rods and pedicle screws has been widely used to corrects coliosis and other forms of degenerative spinal deformities. However, insertion of pedicle screwsis often clinically challenging, particularlyin patients with severe deformity. Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a technique that exploits the electrical properties of biological organs and tissues to indicate their compositions. Bioelectrical impedance measurement is non-invasive, simple, with adequate repeatability, and at a relatively low cost. In our study, we designed a bioelectrical impedance pedicle probe and use it to determine the bioelectrical impedance values
