[Classification and diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundLumbar spinal stenosis is caused by various pathological conditions. With the diagnostic tools available, a precise classification of the condition should be made, which enables a consistent and appropriate therapeutic approach.
objectivesIn the present article, the currently used classifications of lumbar spinal stenosis are discussed and the diagnostic tools are presented, focussing on the imaging descriptions of morphological changes. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis article is based on a PubMed literature search of the past 60 years and our own experiences.
resultsLumbar spinal stenosis is caused mainly by degenerative changes to the spine. MR tomographic imaging can result in precise anatomical illustration and classification of the stenosis.
conclusionsAlthough modern imaging procedures deliver a very precise illustration of lumbar spinal stenosis, clinical symptoms make a considerable contribution to therapeutic decision-making. With the anatomical classification, differentiated surgical decompression of the spinal canal can be planned.
