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

objectiveCT three-dimensional reconstruction technology was used to simulate the placement of the lumbar cortical bone trajectory (CBT), to determine the starting point and direction of the screw trajectory.

methodsBetween February 2017 and April 2018, 24 patients with lumbar CT were selected as the study object. There were 7 males and 17 females, with an average age of 50.4 years (range, 37-68 years). The CT DICOM data of patients were imported into Mimics 16.0 software, and the three-dimensional model of lumbar spine was established. A 5 mm diameter cylinder was set up to simulate the CBT by using Mimics 16.0 software. According to the different implant schemes, the study was divided into groups A, B, and C, the track of the screw respectively passed through the upper edge, the medial edge, and the lower edge of the isthmus of the pedicle. The intersection of simulated screw and lumbar spine was marked as region of interest (ROI) and a mask was generated. The average CT value [Hounsfield unit (HU)] and the screw length of ROI were automatically measured by Mimics 16.0 software. In addition, the head inclination angle and head camber angle of the screw were measured respectively. Point F was the intersection of the level of the lowest edge of the transverse process and the lumbar isthmus periphery. The horizontal and vertical distance between point F and the starting point were measured, and the relationship between the three schemes and the position of the zygapophysial joint and spinous process was observed.

resultsPlan A has the highest ROI average HU, with the maximum value appearing in L

conclusionPlan B should be selected as the starting point of the L
