The Impact of Diabetes on Outcomes and Health Care Costs Following Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion.
Article in Global spine journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study.
objectivesAnterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is commonly used to treat an array of cervical spine pathology and is associated with good outcomes and low complication rates. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common comorbidity for patients undergoing ACDF, but the literature is equivocal about the impact it has on outcomes. Because DM is a highly prevalent comorbidity, it is crucial to determine if it is an associated risk factor for outcomes after ACDF procedures.
methodsPatients at a single institution from 2008 to 2016 undergoing ACDF were compared on the basis of having a prior diagnosis of DM versus no DM. The 2 cohorts were compared utilizing univariate tests and multivariate logistic and linear regressions.
resultsData for 2470 patients was analyzed. Diabetic patients had significantly higher Elixhauser scores (
conclusionsDiabetic patients undergoing ACDF had similar complication, reoperation, and readmission rates, as well as similar cost of care compared to nondiabetic patients.
