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
introductionAnterior cervical decompression and fusion surgery using traditional methods to remove the posterior longitudinal ligament often causes massive bleeding, increasing the risk of surgery. However, the use of a high-frequency electrotome under the microscope can significantly reduce bleeding and reduce the risk of surgery.
aimTo explore the clinical significance of electrosurgical excision of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the cervical anterior approach under the microscope. MATERIAL AND
methodsFrom December 2015 to December 2017, patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion at our hospital were followed up. We enrolled 73 men and 50 women who were 30 to 74 years old (mean, 49.96 years). Among 67 patients in group A treated with a high-frequency electrosurgical knife under the microscope, 58 were followed up; among 73 patients in group B treated with a traditional cervical hook knife under the microscope, 65 were followed up. Clinical data, operative time, intraoperative bleeding volume, VAS score, and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) improvement rate were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsThere were significant differences in the mean operative time and intraoperative bleeding volume between the two groups (p < 0.05); however, no significant differences were found in the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, JOA improvement rate at 3 months postoperatively, and VAS score at 3 months postoperatively between the two groups (p > 0.05).
conclusionsElectrosurgical resection of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical vertebrae under the microscope can significantly reduce intraoperative bleeding and shorten the operative time and has obvious advantages compared with traditional methods.
