Zero-profile Hyperlordotic Spacer for Cervical Deformity Correction: Case Presentation and Technical Note.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cervical spine deformity (CSD) can negatively affect the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients, particularly the elderly, thus representing a socioeconomic problem of increasing importance. While surgical deformity correction has been linked to improved HRQOL, no universally accepted consensus exists for the operative management of CSD. The authors demonstrate the feasibility of CSD correction, implementing anterior and posterior cervical osteotomies combined with the placement of multiple consecutive zero-profile hyperlordotic interbody spacers in a 55-year-old male with cervical kyphosis. This technique resulted in the satisfactory restoration of the patient's cervical alignment and significantly ameliorated his presenting symptoms. The patient demonstrated maintained cervical lordosis and he remained symptom-free at the one-year follow-up. The use of multiple consecutive zero-profile cervical interbody spacers can effectively and safely be utilized for the treatment of CSD. Further studies are needed to compare this technique with other standard surgeries used for CSD correction.
