Spinal surgery in COVID-19 pandemic era: One trauma hub center experience in central-southern Italy.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
The aim of the study is to analyze and report the results of the surgical activity in a spinal unit of a trauma hub in central Italy during COVID-19 pandemic. Surgical activity was compared between COVID 19 pandemic and the same period of time in 2019 at our institution. A 50% reduction of surgical procedures during the last three months was observed compared with the same period of time in 2019. The compliance with the containment rules for the spread of the infection, were sufficient to allow safe surgical activity for the medical teams and patients.
