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

Objective: To discuss the security and effectiveness of fixing the unstable region of sagittal injured unit symmetrically with pedicle screws combined with bone graft fusion for treating thoracolumbar fractures. Methods: A series of 65 patients with a single level thoracolumbar fracture between November 2011 and November 2015 were included in the study. There were 41 males and 24 females with an average age of 36.7 years (range, 23-60 years). The fracture segments included T Results: All patients accepted operation safely and were followed up 12-24 months (mean, 17.3 months). Cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in 3 patients, and cured by symptomatic treatment. There was no complications such as loosening, displacement, and breakage of internal fixator. Bony fusion was achieved in all patients at 10-13 months (mean, 11.4 months) after operation. At last follow-up, according to ASIA grading, 1 case was grade A, 1 grade B, 3 grade C, 9 grade D, and 51 grade E, showing significant difference when compared with preoperative data ( Conclusion: It is safe and reliable to treat thoracolumbar fractures under the principle of fixing the unstable region of injured unit symmetrically with pedicle screws combined with bone grafting.
