Vertebral Body Sliding Osteotomy for Cervical Myelopathy With Rigid Kyphosis.
Article in Neurospine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is surgically demanding when associated with rigid kyphosis. Posterior surgery cannot restore cervical lordosis, and adequate decompression is not possible with rigid kyphosis. Vertebral body sliding osteotomy (VBSO) is a safe and novel technique for anterior decompression in patients with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy. It is safe in terms of dural tear, pseudarthrosis, and graft dislodgement, which are demonstrated at high rates in anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion. In addition, VBSO is a powerful method for restoring cervical lordosis through multilevel anterior cervical discectomy and fusion above and below the osteotomy level. It may be a feasible treatment option for patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy and kyphotic deformity. This is a technical note and literature review that describes the procedures involved in VBSO.
