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

introductionSpinal pedicle screw internal fixation has been widely used in adult spine injury fixation. Due to being in a period of continuous growth and development, the spine of children at different ages shows different characteristics from adults in terms of anatomy, physiological function, and biomechanics. Furthermore, because the pedicle of children is small, has large anatomic variation, and has complex adjacent relationships, the surgical risk is extremely high. How to improve the screwing accuracy is the key to the success of children's pedicle internal fixation. Therefore, applying the concept of digitized and individualized screwing will be of great significance to children's pedicle screwing.

aimTo investigate the morphologies, development patterns, and aging characteristics of the lumbar vertebral pedicle (LVP) in children aged 6-11 years, and to provide a theoretical basis for screw implantation and related biomechanical studies. MATERIAL AND

methodsA total of 60 children aged 6-11 years were selected for the intergroup measurement and statistical analysis of their lumbar diameter, pedicle diameter, screw canal length (SCL), etc.

resultsGenerally, the vertebral foramen diameter (ID), sagittal diameter (SD), pedicle width (PW), and SCL as well as the pedicle height (PH) exhibited an increasing trend with age and increasing vertebral sequence among children aged 6-11 years.

conclusionsBy observing the LVP in children using 3D digital reconstruction technology, the morphology of the spinal canal and pedicles at different lumbar segments showed obvious development patterns, and the best treatment protocol should be selected according to the LVP characteristics in clinical applications.
