Surgical Management of the Lumbar Spine in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Global spine journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
STUDY
designNarrative review.
objectiveTo provide an overview on the diagnosis and surgical management of rheumatoid involvement of the lumbar spine. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of synovial joints, most commonly appendicular followed by axial. Although cervical spine involvement of RA is well documented, data on lumbar spine involvement and surgical management remains limited.
methodsUsing PubMed, studies published prior to November 2018 with the keywords "RA, etiology"; "RA, spine management"; "RA, surgical management"; "RA, treatment"; "RA, DMARDs"; "RA, lumbar spine"; "RA, spine surgical outcomes"; "RA, imaging" were evaluated.
resultsThe narrative review addresses the epidemiology, manifestations, imaging, surgical complications, and operative and nonoperative management of RA involvement of the lumbar spine.
conclusionsRheumatoid involvement of the lumbar spine can present with lower back pain, neurogenic claudication, radiculopathy, spinal deformity, and instability. Patients with RA have significantly higher rates of vertebral fractures and complications following surgical intervention. However, in the setting of instability and spinal deformity, thoughtful surgical planning in conjunction with optimal medical management is recommended.
