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
objectTo compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of O-arm navigation assisted percutaneous pedicle fixation and open freehand pedicle fixation in treatment of AO type A3 thoracolumbar burst fractures (TBFs) without neurological deficit.
methodsThis retrospective study involved 72 patients with type A3 TBFs who underwent O-arm navigation assisted percutaneous pedicle fixation (MIS group) or open freehand posterior pedicle fixation (OPPF group) from September 2015 to December 2017. Demographic data and clinical characteristics were comparable between these two groups before surgery. Operating time, intraoperative blood loss, and the time of hospitalisation stay were analysed. Visual analog scale (VAS) scoring and Oswestry disability index (ODI) was assessed for each patient pre- and postoperatively. Radiographic follow-up was assessed by the Local kyphosis angle (LKA), Vertebral wedge angle (VWA), and Anterior body height (ABH). The accuracy of screw placement was examined by computed tomography.
resultsThe two groups were matched in terms of demographic and clinical features. Intraoperative blood loss was significantly less in the MIS group compared to the OPPF group (
conclusionsPercutaneous short-segment pedicle instrumentation assisted with O-arm navigation represents an effective and safe alternative for type A3 TBFs. It has several advantages compared with open approach, including less blood loss, shorter hospitalisation, less postoperative pain, higher accuracy of pedicle screw placement, and faster recovery period in treating TBFs. However, it requires a longer learning curve and long-term results have to be studied in other well-designed studies. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE: Percutaneous short-segment pedicle instrumentation assisted with O-arm navigation represents an effective and safe alternative for type A3 TBFs. The utilization of O-arm navigation and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation guaranteed the high accuracy of screw placement, protected staff from radiation exposure and offered benefits of minimal invasive technique.
