Clinical relevance and validity of TLICS system for thoracolumbar spine injury.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
In order to enhance the reliability of the application to clinical practice of the TLICS classification, we retrospectively reviewed the patients with thoracolumbar spine injuries who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and analyzed the validity of the TLICS classification and the necessity of MRI. We enrolled 328 patients with thoracolumbar spine injury who underwent MRI. All patients were classified into conservative and operative treatment groups. The TLICS score of each group was analyzed and the degree of consistent with the recommended treatment through the TLICS classification was examined. Of the total 328 patients, 138 patients were treated conservatively and 190 patients were treated by surgery. Of the 138 patients who underwent conservative treatment, 131 patients (94.9%) had a TLICS score of 4 points or less, and matched with the recommendation score for conservative treatment according to the TLICS classification (match rate 94.9%, 131/138). Of the 190 patients who underwent operative treatment, 160 patients (84.2%) had a TLICS score of 4 points or more (match rate 84.2%, 160/190). All of 30 mismatched patients with a TLICS score of 3 points or less (15.8%) had stable burst fracture without neurological deficit. We retrospectively reviewed the validity of the TLICS classification for the injuries of the thoracolumbar spine, based on MRI in a large group of patients. Treatment with TLICS classification showed high validity, especially in conservative group, and MRI should be an essential diagnostic tool for accurate evaluation of posterior ligamentous complex injury.
