Single-level Bryan cervical disc arthroplasty: evaluation of radiological and clinical outcomes after 18 years of follow-up.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeMany studies reported mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes after cervical disc arthroplasty. Only a few studies analysed the long-term results. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients treated with single-level Bryan cervical disc arthroplasty after 18 years of follow-up.
methodsThis study was a retrospective analysis of institutional databases concerning patients treated with Bryan cervical disc arthroplasty. SF36 PCS, NDI and VAS were used to evaluate clinical and functional outcomes. Standard, flexion-extension X-ray and MRI were used to evaluate the radiological results.
resultsFifty-seven patients treated with single-level Bryan cervical disc arthroplasty completed the 18-year follow-up. At the final follow-up, a residual movement was observed in 32 patients (56%). The treated level range of motion decreased from 10.1° pre-operatively to 6.1° at the last follow-up (p = 0.0021). The range of motion of the adjacent segments and of the cervical spine had no significant change. Disc degeneration of the adjacent segment after 18-year follow-up was observed in 77.1% of treated patients.
conclusionThe clinical and radiographic outcomes 18 years after surgery are acceptable. The treated level range of motion reduction and the adjacent segment degeneration seems not to affect the clinical results after 18 years of follow-up.
