1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

<strong>BACKGROUND</strong> Since C2 is adjacent to important nerves and blood vessels, the implantation risk of C2 internal fixation in this area is high and requires high accuracy. This study mainly discussed the application value of 3-dimensional (3D)-printed navigation template in C2 screw placement. <strong>MATERIAL AND METHODS</strong> A retrospective study compared 3D-printed navigation template-assisted screw placement (group A, n=32) and the C-arm based navigation-assisted screw placement group (group B, n=32). Group A was divided into 2 subgroups: A1 (C2 pedicle screw placement) and A2 (C2 pars screw placement); group B was divided into B1 (C2 pedicle screw placement) and B2 (C2 pars screw placement). The accuracy and safety of screw placement and clinical outcomes were evaluated. <strong>RESULTS</strong> There were 64 C2 screws placed in group A, and 95.31% achieved a grade A accuracy rating, including 52 screws in group A1 (96.15% grade A) and 12 screws in group A2 (91.67% grade A). A total of 64 C2 screws were placed in group B, and 84.38% achieved a grade A accuracy rating, including 50 screws in group B1 (84.00% grade A) and 14 screws in group B2 (85.71% grade A). The accuracy of screw placement differed significantly between groups A and B (
