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

objectiveTo compare perioperative outcomes between cortical bone trajectory (CBT) instrumentation with pedicle screws (PS) in patients undergoing laminectomy and posterolateral fusion for single-level lumbar spinal stenosis, and degenerative grade I spondylolisthesis.

methodsA consecutive series of 91 patients from a single institution between January 2017 and July 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.

resultsPatients in CBT group had significantly shorter operative time, lower blood loss and shorter length of stay.

conclusionCBT instrumentation demonstrated favorable perioperative outcomes that may enhance the overall value in patients undergoing laminectomy and posterolateral fusion for single-level lumbar spinal stenosis, and degenerative grade I spondylolisthesis.
