Does Mesh Cage Subsidence Have any Effect on Functional Outcome in Spinal Tuberculosis?
Article in Asian journal of neurosurgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
introductionOccurrence of mesh cage subsidence in patients undergoing anterior column reconstruction following Tuberculosis spine is frequent radiological finding as bone quality of affected vertebrae is poor. This study aims at determining effect of mesh cage subsidence on functional outcome.
methodsRetrospective demographics of 30 patients of consecutive series in age range 4-60 year were collected with Clinical outcome evaluation using VAS, ODI and ASIA scale. 30 patient having Dorsolumbar tuberculosis with vertebral involvement ranging from 1-6 with mean vertebral level involvement of 2.71, underwent anterior column reconstruction through posterior only approach between 2011-15 were reviewed. Patients were followed at regular intervals of 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months & thereafter on yearly basis. They were evaluated for interbody height loss with subsidence, fusion & segmental angle.
resultsClinical parameters i.e. VAS & ODI showed improvement in postoperative period which continued to remain same even after subsidence (
conclusionStudy indicates that though Cage subsidence occurs to varying severity due to weakened vertebral bodies, it did not have significant impact on functional outcome in terms of VAS, ODI or radiological evidence of fusion following reconstruction in Spinal tuberculosis.
