The Current State of Minimally Invasive Approaches to Adult Spinal Deformity.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purpose of reviewMinimally invasive approaches to adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery have seen a large increase in popularity over the last decade, largely because these techniques are viewed as a potential improvement to the lengthy recovery and high complication rates observed after traditional open surgery for this pathology. The purpose of this review is to present a summary of the latest minimally invasive techniques used in adult spinal deformity surgery, examine whether MIS surgery can accomplish the goals of ASD surgery, and investigate whether MIS surgery is safer than traditional approaches. RECENT
findingsWhile minimally invasive approaches have been able to achieve similar patient-reported outcomes as open approaches, they are associated with their own unique complications. Furthermore, they are limited in their ability to correct severe sagittal imbalance. Emerging techniques, such as anterior column realignment and mini-open posterior column osteotomy, have been developed to address these limitations. The minimally invasive spinal deformity surgery algorithm (MISDEF) can help guide surgeons on which approaches may be appropriate for a particular case. To maximize the benefits of a minimally invasive approach without compromising the goals of ASD surgery, surgeons must be selective in choosing which cases are amenable to an MIS approach. Leading experts continue to develop algorithms to guide surgical decision-making. As we learn to better define our indications, understand treatment goals, and refine our techniques, MIS approaches will likely play an even larger role in a comprehensive ASD treatment strategy.
