Comparison of the outcomes of cage-stand-alone with cage-with-plate fixation in one level and two levels for treating cervical disk diseases.
Article in Journal of craniovertebral junction & spine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionAnterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery is an accepted method for many spinal cord abnormalities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of treating patients with spinal cord lesions at one level or two levels through ACDF with cage-stand-alone (ACDF-CA) and ACDF with cage-with-plate fixation (ACDF-CP) surgery and comparing these results with each other.
methodsIn this prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study, eighty patients undergoing ACDF surgery were enrolled according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic data, before and after surgery findings, and clinical symptoms were investigated. Data were collected by means of visual analog scale (VAS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaires. The adverse effects and surgical outcomes were evaluated based on Odom's criteria and patients' satisfaction. The collected data of the groups were then compared and assessed.
resultsThere was no significant difference between the groups in regards of gender, age, duration of surgery to visit, surgical level, preoperative and postoperative VAS and cervical range of motion, preoperative NDI, results based on Odom's criteria, and satisfaction of patients (
conclusionBoth of the methods revealed acceptable outcomes in comparison to the preoperative stage, and despite some minor differences, there are generally no significant differences in outcomes and complications.
