Modified Closing-Opening Wedge Osteotomy to Correct Kyphosis in Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and radiological outcomes of modified closing-opening wedge osteotomy (mCOWO) for correcting kyphosis in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS From April 2012 to April 2017, records of consecutive patients who underwent mCOWO were reviewed. The clinical and radiological outcomes were analyzed preoperatively, postoperatively, and at the most recent follow-up. RESULTS Eleven AS patients underwent mCOWO, with a mean follow-up of 19.4 months (range, 12-45 months). The average sagittal vertical axis (SVA) was corrected from 191.9 mm preoperatively to 75.9 mm postoperatively (P<0.05) and 78.9 mm at the most recent follow-up (P<0.05). The average correction angles at the osteotomy site were 44.5° postoperatively and 45.0° at the most recent follow-up (P>0.05). Sagittal translation (ST) occurred in 2 patients, and 5 mm was the maximum. There was no neurologic damage. Solid fusion was observed at the most recent follow-up in all patients. CONCLUSIONS Modified closing-opening wedge osteotomy (mCOWO) is an effective technique for correcting kyphosis in patients with AS.
