Postoperative Complications Following Orthopedic Spine Surgery: Is There a Difference Between Men and Women?
Article in International journal of spine surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundPatient sex is known to affect outcomes following surgery. Prior studies have not specifically examined sex-stratified outcomes following spine surgery. The objective is to determine the differences between men and women in terms of 30-day complications following spine surgery.
methodsThe National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for patients undergoing spine surgery from 2005 to 2014. Postoperative data were analyzed to determine the differences between men and women with regard to 30-day complications.
resultsA total of 41 315 patients (49.0% women, 51% men) were analyzed. Men were more likely to have diabetes (
conclusionsDifferences in complications are evident between men and women following spine surgery. These differences should be considered during preoperative planning and when consenting patients for surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.
