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

BACKGROUND This was a prospective comparative study of mixed reality (MR) technology assisted lumbar pedicle screws placement and traditional lumbar pedicle screws placement. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty cases of lumbar pedicle screws placement were randomly divided into 2 groups: 25 cases with MR technology in group A, and 25 cases without MR technology in group B. All patients had their scores on the Oswestry disability index (ODI) of low back pain and the visual analog scale (VAS) of the affected lower limb recorded at pre-operation. Blood loss, operative duration, success rate of first penetration by tap, and number of times C-arm fluoroscopy was performed were recorded at intraoperation. The postoperative drainage was recorded. The ODI of low back pain and VAS of the affected lower limb were recorded at 1, 3, and 6 months after operation. RESULTS Group A had less bleeding, shorter operation time, higher success rate of first penetration by tap, and fewer times using C-arm fluoroscopy at intraoperation (P<0.05). There was significant difference in ODI scores and VAS scores at 1 mouth after operation (P<0.05). The postoperative drainage of group A was less than group B (P<0.05). The implantation accuracy of group A was higher than group B (P<0.05). The postoperative recovery rate of low back pain of group A was faster than group B (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The safety of spinal surgery and implantation accuracy of pedicle screw fixation system could be increased by MR technology.
