Clinical efficacy of laminectomy with instrumented fixation in treatment of adjacent segmental disease following ACCF surgery: a retrospective observational study of 48 patients.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This study was designed to investigate the clinical efficacy of laminectomy with instrumented fixation in treatment of adjacent segmental diseases following anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) surgery. Between January 2008 and December 2015, 48 patients who underwent laminectomy with instrumented fixation to treat adjacent segmental diseases following ACCF surgery, were enrolled into this study. The patients were followed up at least 2 years. Pain assessment was determined by visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Neck Disability Index (NDI) score; neurological impairment was evaluated by Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score; and radiographic parameters were also compared. All comparisons were determined by paired t test with appropriate Bonferronni correction. VAS score preoperatively and at last follow-up was 5.28 ± 2.35 vs 1.90 ± 1.06 (P < 0.001). JOA score preoperatively and at last follow-up was 8.2 ± 3.6 vs 14.5 ± 1.1 (P < 0.001). NDI score preoperatively and at last follow-up was 30.5 ± 12.2 vs 10.6 ± 5.8 (P < 0.001). Moreover, the losses of cervical lordosis and C2-C7 range of motion after laminectomy were significant (both P < 0.005), but not sagittal vertical axis distance. Postoperative complications were few or mild. In conclusion, clinical effectiveness and safety can be guaranteed when the patients undergo laminectomy with instrumented fixation to treat adjacent segmental diseases following ACCF surgery.
