Biomechanical Comparison of Integrated Fixation Cage Versus Anterior Cervical Plate and Cage in Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion (ACCF): A Finite Element Analysis.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND Anterior cervical plate and cage fixation system (ACPC) used in anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) is reported to incur excess complications. This study aimed to introduce integrated fixation cage (IFC) into ACCF to eliminate the anterior cervical plate (ACP)-related complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS One validated intact and 3 ACCF-simulated C3-C7 cervical spine models were developed. In ACCF models, C5 was corpectomied and fixed by IFC or ACPC. For each model, 1.0 Nm moments of flexion, extension, lateral bending, and torsion were imposed on the C3 vertebra. The range of motion (ROM) of each segment and the stress distribution on screw-vertebra interface, bone graft, and cage-endplate were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS ROMs of C3-C7 were not different in any motion condition between IFC and ACPC models. The maximal von Mises stress on screw-vertebra interface of the IFC model was lower than that of the ACPC models in flexion, extension, and lateral bending, but higher in rotation. The maximal von Mises stress on bone graft of the IFC model was higher compared with the ACPC models, except in flexion. The IFC model showed a higher maximal von Mises stress on cage-endplate interface in all motion planes. CONCLUSIONS Based on finite element analysis, IFC provided identical C3-C7 construct stability as ACPC. Compared with ACPC, IFC showed better biomechanical performance on screw-vertebra interface and bone graft, but worse biomechanical performance on cage-endplate interface.
