Coronal and sagittal spinal alignment in lumbar disc herniation with scoliosis and trunk shift.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundTo investigate the incidence of scoliosis and trunk shift in patients with LDH (lumbar disc herniation) and analyze the differences in spinopelvic alignment among patients with or without trunk shift and non-symptom controls. MATERIALS AND
methodsAll included subjects had standard upright antero-posterior and lateral radiographs of the whole spine taken. Evidence of disc herniation was confirmed by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The parameters measured included trunk shift and Cobb angle, TK (thoracic kyphosis), TLK (thoraco-lumbar junction kyphosis), LL (lumbar lordosis), PI (pelvic incidence), SS (sacral slope), PT (pelvic tilt) and SVA (sagittal vertical axis).
resultsSixty-eight patients with LDH and 61 controls were included. There were significantly more male patients with trunk shift than the patients without trunk shift. Forty-two patients had curve magnitudes ranging from 5 to 38°. The trunk shift ranged from 0.5 to 7.3 cm. A total of 54.76% of patients had a disc herniation on the concave side of the main curve. Fifty percent of patients showed a trunk shift towards the opposite side of disc herniation. There were significant differences in spinopelvic parameters among groups. Significant correlations were also observed between several spinopelvic parameters in the three groups. However, the degrees of correlations among the spinopelvic parameters differed among the three groups.
conclusionSpinal sagittal morphology in LDH patients with trunk shift exhibits a more anterior shift of the C7 plumb line, less LL, and a more horizontal sacrum. Correlation analysis indicated a disharmonious spinopelvic interaction and a change in the compensatory model in patients with LDH.
